Burns Wharf reconsideration
Councillor Brenda Reid requested that council reconsider Resolution #211-15-17, being a resolution to submit a financial grant application to FedNor on behalf of the Burns Wharf Theatre Players (BWTP).
“After reading the applications, I saw inaccuracies so I ask that it be reconsidered,” Councillor Reid said of the FedNor application.
Councillor Hugh Moggy said he understood that the application was currently being redone by the BWTP as a three-season facility, rather than four seasons as previously stated.
The resolution was repealed until the new application is reviewed.
A Deer Show well done
Councillor Leslie Fields commented on the success of the Manitoulin Deer Show held the last Sunday in August, noting the many new things on offer and the highly popular kids’ wilderness challenge.
Mayor Paul Moffatt noted that the Deer Show was busier than ever.

Council thanked the Deer Show committee of Ron Cooper, Steve Wood, Lee Hayden and Mike Sprack for a job well done.
