COUNCIL LOOKS AT TOWING BYLAW

HARD WORK PAYS OFF A few weeks ago, we printed a picture of the Station on the Green board members sorting through a chaotic pile of books at the Curling Club. At 8 am last Saturday, the fruits of their labour were obvious, with the Station transformed into the ultimate used book shop. Six hours later, the books were gone and more than $6,000 had been raised for the building’s upkeep and maintenance.

Echo Briefs Party at the Skate Park

After many years of community fundraising, the Creemore Skate Park will be the subject of an official “Appreciation Day” on Saturday, October 9 from 10 am to noon. A team of pro skateboarders from the Fathom skate shop in Collingwood will be on hand to demonstrate some tricks. You can also enjoy the refreshments and listen to “short speeches” honouring the fundraising and construction work of Cole McArthur, Michael and Judy Fuke, Keith and Nigel Roberts, and many others.

Mocks Tickets On Sale Tickets are still available for the Creemore Mocks gala on Saturday, October 16. Fourteen entries have been received and all are hilarious. Buy your tickets at the Market and at the Echo or Curiosity House while they last.

by Brad Holden One of the final bylaws to be considered by this term of Council was previewed in draft form on Monday night – a towing bylaw that would regulate towing companies, their trucks, drivers, compounds and rate schedules. It would also limit companies allowed to respond to police calls to those with compounds in or within two kilometres of Township borders. The proposed bylaw is in response to an OPP standing order stating police would only call companies with compounds within the local detachment’s boundaries unless municipalities have their own regulatory bylaw. As several companies outside of Clearview have traditionally operated here, Council directed staff to create a bylaw. It’s expected a public meeting regarding the bylaw will occur sometime in November.
