Please ensure that underserved communities within Newmarket are considered for these vending machines. It feels like all the nice things in town go to higher income neighbourhoods.

I would love to be able to access the library on Mondays. It is about time.

Such an excellent rate of pay for part-timers. Other than the mayor and possibly the deputy mayor, I'm fairly certain that all of the ward council members are able to work a second job. We actually have one councillor who is the employee of another councillor in their non-council roles. I have to wonder if there is a conflict of interest at any point in regards to this situation?

Why don't we build some of these fourplexes at the north west corner of Yonge Street and Mulock.

We could call them the Taylor Towns.

It might cover some of the 60 million dollars being spent currently on this property and project.

Where would we find year over year data regarding library membership numbers, loaned items and in-person visit data? I would like to see if there is actual growth. I find that the numbers quoted have no context. I am a library card holder, regular user and advocate for a new and improved space.

We went on Saturday. Sorry to report back that it was an underwhelming experience. The whole concept needs an overhaul. If I was bored, gosh I am sure the vendors were beside themselves and they had to pay to be there. What about entertainment? 50/50 draws? Door prizes? The local chamber, if you are listening, you can do better! Come on, now!
We also noticed that our local MP & MPP did not have booths this year.

A quick Google search:

The Grain Farmers of Ontario said their farmers could pay $2.7 billion in carbon pricing by 2030 if there is no exemption.

Farmers are already exempted from paying the carbon price on gas and diesel used in farm vehicles and machinery because there are no alternatives for them to choose.Jan 31, 2024

The town will actually issue a ticket for one kilometer over? Is this an April Fool's joke?
