The pool has been closed for up to four months to deal with ventilation and other issues, which have been leading to growth of mold within the building. An extended closure is necessary to deal with these issues which can constitute a health hazard. A new pool cover will be installed which will also help reduce excessive humidity and condensation within the structure.
Just a little public service announcement: with the cold weather, the wolves are back in town. Please dont leave your pets out at night, including penned. The owner should be present when letting it out and it should ideally be on a leash. In the last few years, Village dogs have been attacked and on at least one occasion, killed. A bear was also killed within the Village. I would like to extend our sympathies to Councillor Moore and his family regarding the fire at their home, resulting in extensive damage. I had asked for the fire chief to produce a broad report on the multiple structure fires that have occurred within the Village in the last two years or so. It is included in this agenda. Yesterday I met with our MLA, Anna Kindy, to advocate for improvement to the Head Bay Forest Service Road, which she has agreed to do once we provide her with further information. My goal is to secure a meeting directly with the Minister of Transportation to make the case for paving the road and its positive implications for economic development of our community. I was also advocating for renewed funding for the Island Coastal Economic Trust and believe that the MLA is willing to advocate for this. The Village of Tahsis has received grants from ICET in the past.
