Hello Members of Western Ontario Waterways Regional Council,

We are getting close to our fall meeting where we deal with the budget and finances, as well as any proposals that come to us. 

This year we will have a Category 2 Remit (one that requires Regional Council action) as well as a few other proposals.  As such we are going to have a Learning Session on Tuesday Oct 27^th at 7pm via Zoom to hear about the different proposals and Remit, and to allow for questions of clarification.

There will be no debate or decision at this meeting on Oct 27^th, but gives everyone a chance to look at the material ahead of the meeting on Oct 29/30. 

In order to have the proposals and such available to folks for Oct 27^th I’m asking that any proposals for the fall meeting be submitted to myself at mlaird@united-church.ca by Monday October 19^th. 

We will still accept proposals up until the new business deadline set at the meeting, but any proposal submitted after October 19^th, won’t have the benefit of the learning session, and will not be given the same priority on the agenda as proposals received earlier.  Thank you for your work and service to this great church of ours.
