Whether you were sending the kids off to school or returning from a little rest and relaxation, I hope the last week went smoothly.
In our family, the first days of September always mark transition and a return to a feeling of normalcy and consistency. It can be an adjustment going from late nights and impromptu gatherings over the summer to schedule and routine, but we mostly seem to thrive when we can see the road ahead.
This weekend’s calendar really follows that same path, with the return of Bradford’s CAN meeting and some weekly family favourites sprinkled in.
Here’s what’s happening in Bradford and Innisfil:
Community Access Networking (CAN) in Bradford
Ward 6 residents are invited to learn more about town services and share ideas with Mayor James Leduc, Deputy Mayor Raj Sandhu and Coun. Nickolas Harper at Fire Station 1, 75 Melbourne Dr., Saturday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. CAN is an initiative established by council, providing residents the opportunity to raise issues in a relaxed, friendly and informal environment. Although the events have been designed to highlight one ward per meeting​, all residents are welcome to attend any date of their choosing.
