The agenda package has been released for Tuesday’s council meeting. In the agenda package only one person mentioned they were opposed to closing the Wingham Complex & Pool. At a previous meeting one other person spoke up, bringing the total to 2 out of 5,000 that want to keep wasting taxpayer money.
The closing of the facilities in Blyth are being credited for saving Wingham Homecoming. While virtually no one cared about the closing of the pool, arenas, section of Community trail, loss of trailer park and airport and historic Armories, millions of real estate stolen, 20% raise for council and a 20% raise in taxes, the shutting down of the beer tent was too just too far.
Council has now seen the light and is prepared to cancel all services if necessary to make sure Homecoming 2024 happens, especially Blyth which has taken far more than their fair share from the Wingham Taxpayers. NOTE: The beer tent is Homecoming’s only event anyone thinks of attending. Getting drunk down by the river is what homecoming is, and that will never change. An important part of our heritage that we must preserve at all costs.
