Community Development Officer issues report

Community Development Officer, Rebecca Goddard-Sarria issued an activity report of her own at the November 17 meeting of Cramahe Council.

In it she lists 37 meetings attended and visits to five companies in the township. The report also includes her meetings regarding the broadband project and staffing for Tim Horton's. Ms. Goddard-Sarria completed the application which resulted in the funding for the industrial park work.

The report summarizes six community events in which she participated. It did not include any work done on behalf of the five Christmas-related events happening this weekend or the Santa Claus Parade next weekend. When asked what support was being given to publicize the inaugural Christmas in Castleton Artisans Show, Hoselton's fundraiser for the United Way, two Christmas bazaars and the Second Helpings grand Opening and fashion show, the Tourism official appeared perplexed and unaware of them.

Mayor Marc Coombs appeared uncertain at first about the events, but stated he thought the township would be waiving the rental fee for the Christmas in Castleton event at the Castleton Town Hall.

Under the topic of Community Development, the gateway signs were revealed last May and two village signs were posted at boundaries of Colborne. Ms. Goddard-Sarria arranged for two flag poles to be installed and prepared the bi-weekly ads the township places in Northumberlandtoday.com.
