STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDS PARRY SOUND HOST SNOWBIRDS’ AIRSHOW IN JUNE

The Snowbirds are one step closer to coming to Parry Sound.

In its report to council, staff recommends the Town of Parry Sound be lead host of  the elite squadron’s airshow planned for Wednesday, June 13th.

Council will vote on the matter Monday at a special meeting in the Council Chambers.

Early estimates had the cost of hosting the event between $15,000 and $40,000.

With corporate sponsorship and participation from other municipalities, the report estimates the final cost to the town shouldn’t exceed $10,000.

Seguin Township, Township of The Archipelago, and Lakeland Power have already expressed their support of the event.

The report also recommends the Snowbirds be allowed to fly “low and loud” over the town’s waterfront.

The special meeting takes place at 6:00 pm on Monday, January 22, in the Council Chambers on 52 Seguin St, Gibson St. entrance.

I was born and raised in the former Borough of East York (now part of Toronto), a friendly community with small-town roots. After attending Ryerson’s Electrical Technology program in Toronto, I became involved in the family’s retail electronics business, eventually taking it over. During that time, I became involved in a number of community groups including the East York Community Centre Liaison Committee, and sitting on the board of the Toronto Police 54 Division liaison committee, as well as chairing the Pape Village Business Improvement Area. In 2007, I decided to pursue a career in radio broadcasting, enrolling in Humber College’s radio broadcasting program. It was a wonderful opportunity and something I’ve wanted to do since high school. After working at a number of stations in both Ontario and Alberta, I am excited to work alongside with the great team at 103.3 Moose FM in beautiful Parry Sound.
