Leading up the the fall election, Georgian
Bluffs Council disappointingly made no
decision on the maintenance and reopening of Suicide Hill and Dodd's W Hill.
EVENTS & NOTICES
That decision will now rest with the new
Council. However, Council did authorize
the payment of nearly $30,000 to a consultant for a complete roads study ... this study
was conducted in the late summer
and evaluated the state of every single
Georgian Bluffs road and recommended that they all be repaired to a minimum
class 5 standard which, if approved, would
mean an expenditure of tens of millions of
dollars over the next decade. The
study included an exorbitant assessment to
construct the Kemble Heritage Hills also to
a class 5 standard, which if carried out,
would completely destroy the heritage aspect that we are trying to retain.
May 30 (noon –3pm) Fun Fest
Chili Cook Off Event at Kemble
United Church. All cooking and
chili enthusiasts are encouraged
to enter. If you would like to participate or volunteer, call Marie at
519-372-1026 for details.
The Friends of the Kemble Heritage Hills
will continue to monitor Council and budget meetings with the goal of keeping the
"heritage" in the Kemble Heritage Hills
and to encourage the repair and re-opening
of the hill roads at a reasonable and realistic cost."
