I am seeking re-election to the position of councillor of Ward 5 for the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio. Over the past eight years on council I have devoted time and energy to bring a sound and common-sense approach to the issues dealt with by council. This will not change if re-elected.

Personally, I continue to call Lisle home and am employed as the postmaster at the Lisle Post Office. I volunteer my time to help organize many community events as well as operate a community outdoor ice rink during the winter.

During my previous two terms, I have been pleased to take an active role in serving on the following committees: economic development committee, Museum on the Boyne advisory committee, recreation services review committee, committee of adjustment, savings by design committee, audit committee and procedural review committee.

More recently council has faced some tough issues but has also initiated many meaningful projects, including the development of a new fire station in Everett, a new combined public works operations building, a review of recreation needs and increase of recreation amenities and trails. My experience and approach to these projects and others will help steer our township in a positive direction.

If re-elected, I will continue to serve the residents of Ward 5, listen to issues and work cohesively with members of council, staff and residents to accomplish our goals in the interest of the township.

Collingwood students bring high school story to the big screen

A group of high school students are hoping to light up the big screen.

Senior Year is the story of Cole, who is struggling to fit in during his last year of high school, and it’s the first full-length feature film produced solely by high school students.

The film is the brainchild of Collingwood Collegiate Institute student John Cardillo, Jr. and Pretty River Academy student Zane Frantzen.

After hearing there would not be a drama production at CCI, the pair connected with a group of friends and decided to make a movie.

“We spent about four weeks putting together an 88-page script,” said Cardillo, Jr.

“We ended up making something pretty great.”

Filming started in March and saw them shoot in a variety of locales across Simcoe County and Muskoka.

The cast and crew featured 80 students who volunteered from five area high schools including CCI, Stayer Collegiate Institute, Georgian Bay Community School, Pretty River and Jean Vanier.

The film will be screened at the Gayety Theatre on June 29 at 8 p.m., June, 30 at 10 a.m., and July 1 4 p.m.

All money raised will support My Friend’s House.
