00:04:41 Speaker 07: the area that organization represents. Very

00:04:44 Speaker 07: good. Any other questions? Discussion on

00:05:26 Speaker 08: matter. Where is it? Oh, there's

00:05:30 Speaker 08: actually a few, I'm sure. But

00:05:34 Speaker 08: we're going to start. This is

00:05:35 Speaker 08: Nurses Week in Canada, National Nursing

00:05:36 Speaker 08: Week, and I'd like to take

00:05:38 Speaker 08: a moment to recognize and thank

00:05:41 Speaker 08: all nurses across Gray County for

00:05:45 Speaker 08: the essential care, compassion, and professionalism

00:05:46 Speaker 08: they bring to our communities every.

00:05:49 Speaker 08: single day. We of course expand

00:05:50 Speaker 08: extend our deep appreciation to the

00:05:53 Speaker 08: nurses working in Lee Manor, Gray

00:05:55 Speaker 08: Gables, and Rockwood Terrace. Their dedication,

00:05:56 Speaker 08: along with all of those working

00:06:00 Speaker 08: in long-term care, supports some of

00:06:02 Speaker 08: our most vulnerable residents. Their work

00:06:04 Speaker 08: means makes a meaningful difference in

00:06:06 Speaker 08: their comfort, dignity, and quality of

00:06:09 Speaker 08: life, and provides peace of mind

00:06:11 Speaker 08: to loved ones and families. This

00:06:13 Speaker 08: week also marks an important milestone

00:06:15 Speaker 08: locally as Georgian College. Locally, as

00:06:18 Speaker 08: Georgian College's own Sound Campus celebrates

00:06:20 Speaker 08: the first graduates of its Honors

00:06:23 Speaker 08: Bachelor of Science Nursing program, congratulations

00:06:26 Speaker 08: to the new graduates on completing

00:06:28 Speaker 08: four years of demanding study and

00:06:29 Speaker 08: hands-on placements. It seems not that

00:06:31 Speaker 08: long ago, but you may recall

00:06:33 Speaker 08: that a number of years ago,

00:06:35 Speaker 08: Grey County committed one million dollars

00:06:37 Speaker 08: to the nursing and wellness

00:06:39 Speaker 08: wing at the Own Sound Campus.

00:06:41 Speaker 08: The investment reflects our commitment to

00:06:45 Speaker 08: strengthening local healthcare and supporting those

00:06:46 Speaker 08: who choose. this important career path

00:06:48 Speaker 08: right here in Gray County. So

00:06:53 Speaker 08: to all nurses, and I will

00:06:55 Speaker 08: note that in my own family,

00:06:57 Speaker 08: I've had many members in the

00:06:59 Speaker 08: nursing profession, including my own daughter

00:07:01 Speaker 08: out in the West Coast. So

00:07:03 Speaker 08: to all those nurses, Happy Nurses

00:07:09 Speaker 08: Week, and thank you for all

00:07:10 Speaker 08: that you do to keep our

00:07:16 Speaker 08: communities healthy. Nile, you have. some

00:07:19 Speaker 09: good news for us as well.

00:07:21 Speaker 09: Please. Good morning. Thank you, Chair,

00:07:24 Speaker 09: and members of Council. I'm here

00:07:25 Speaker 09: to recognise Public Works Week, which

00:07:26 Speaker 09: happens next week. Director Hoy is

00:07:29 Speaker 09: unable to join us today. He's

00:07:31 Speaker 09: busy in bargaining with several members

00:07:33 Speaker 09: of the team today. So each

00:07:36 Speaker 09: year, OPWA, the Ontario Public Works

00:07:38 Speaker 09: Association, marks Public Works Week to

00:07:40 Speaker 09: recognise the. public works professionals across

00:07:43 Speaker 09: Ontario. This is part of a

00:07:44 Speaker 09: broader North American-wide celebration of the

00:07:47 Speaker 09: people whose work supports the everyday

00:07:50 Speaker 09: lives of residents, visitors, and businesses.

00:07:52 Speaker 09: This year's theme is rooted in

00:07:54 Speaker 09: service, powered by community, and is

00:07:55 Speaker 09: an especially fitting one. It recognises

00:07:58 Speaker 09: that the roots of public service

00:08:00 Speaker 09: run deep in public works, and

00:08:02 Speaker 09: that this commitment has driven the

00:08:03 Speaker 09: innovation and care that allow our

00:08:05 Speaker 09: communities to grow into places where

00:08:07 Speaker 09: people can live, work, and thrive.

00:08:10 Speaker 09: It also reflects that our public

00:08:12 Speaker 09: works staff are themselves deeply rooted

00:08:14 Speaker 09: in community. They play integral roles

00:08:15 Speaker 09: shaping their community outside of the

00:08:17 Speaker 09: seven to four that they work

00:08:20 Speaker 09: with us, with their families and

00:08:22 Speaker 09: their friends. Some public works contributions

00:08:24 Speaker 09: are highly visible, like building and

00:08:26 Speaker 09: maintaining our roads and bridges. While

00:08:28 Speaker 09: others, such as maintaining water and

00:08:30 Speaker 09: sewer systems, which can which are

00:08:33 Speaker 09: undertaken across Grey County, happen largely

00:08:34 Speaker 09: out of sight. But together, these

00:08:38 Speaker 09: efforts form the foundation. of strong

00:08:41 Speaker 09: and resilient communities. Every product, sorry,

00:08:43 Speaker 09: project, whether seen or unseen, reflects

00:08:45 Speaker 09: the deep connection between service and

00:08:46 Speaker 09: the people it supports. With Public

00:08:47 Speaker 09: Works Week coming up next week,

00:08:49 Speaker 09: I want to take a moment

00:08:52 Speaker 09: on behalf of Great County Councils

00:08:54 Speaker 09: and staff, and indeed all our

00:08:56 Speaker 09: communities, to sincerely thank Great County

00:08:58 Speaker 09: Public Works staff. Whether it

00:09:01 Speaker 09: be the long days, unpredictable weather,

00:09:02 Speaker 09: aging infrastructure, tight timelines, or responding

00:09:05 Speaker 09: to urgent issues with little notice.

00:09:08 Speaker 09: you consistently meet these challenges with

00:09:08 Speaker 09: professionalism, skill, and dedication. And it

00:09:10 Speaker 09: is my honour to work alongside

00:09:12 Speaker 09: of you. Much of your work

00:09:14 Speaker 09: happens behind the scenes, and its

00:09:15 Speaker 09: impact is felt every single day

00:09:18 Speaker 09: across Grey County. And it truly

00:09:22 Speaker 09: does not go unnoticed. Thank you,

00:09:25 Speaker 09: Chair. Thank you, Niall. Well spoken.

00:09:34 Speaker 09: We have an item here from

00:09:37 Speaker 09: Kevin McNabb. Kevin, please. Good morning,

00:09:39 Speaker 10: County Council. Paramedic Services Week is

00:09:41 Speaker 10: being recognized in Grey County and

00:09:43 Speaker 10: across Ontario from May 17th to

00:09:45 Speaker 10: the 23rd. This year's theme, "Better

00:09:47 Speaker 10: Care Starts Here," highlights the important

00:09:50 Speaker 10: role paramedics play every day in

00:09:52 Speaker 10: caring for our residents. Paramedics provide

00:09:54 Speaker 10: skilled, compassionate care in many settings,

00:09:56 Speaker 10: from responding to 911 emergencies to

00:09:59 Speaker 10: supporting patients in their homes and

00:10:01 Speaker 10: reaching those in need through

00:10:04 Speaker 10: outreach programs. in Gray County,

00:10:06 Speaker 10: this includes 911 emergency response,

00:10:08 Speaker 10: community paramedicine, and supportive outreach

00:10:11 Speaker 10: services, supported by supervisors, managers, and

00:10:13 Speaker 10: administrative staff, and strong community partners.

00:10:15 Speaker 10: Together, this work helps ensure people

00:10:17 Speaker 10: receive the support they need when

00:10:19 Speaker 10: and where they need it. This

00:10:20 Speaker 10: upcoming week is an opportunity to

00:10:21 Speaker 10: recognize the great work that paramedics

00:10:24 Speaker 10: do and to say thank you

00:10:25 Speaker 10: for their dedication and care. So,

00:10:26 Speaker 10: we'll have a number of events

00:10:28 Speaker 10: next week throughout the county, saying

00:10:30 Speaker 10: thank you to the paramedics. We

00:10:31 Speaker 10: always open up the week by

00:10:32 Speaker 10: our poster each year. It has

00:10:34 Speaker 10: a theme, and this year's theme

00:10:36 Speaker 10: being care here at home. We,

00:10:38 Speaker 10: with the help of our communication

00:10:39 Speaker 10: staff and Olivia Yale, the great

00:10:40 Speaker 10: work she did put this together

00:10:44 Speaker 10: for us in the Shaver County,

00:10:47 Speaker 10: and it shows different different paramedics

00:10:52 Speaker 10: throughout our service. So thanks. Thanks,

00:10:57 Speaker 10: Kevin. Tara, you have an introduction

00:10:58 Speaker 11: you'd like to do. Thank you.

00:10:59 Speaker 11: We do have a new face

00:11:01 Speaker 11: in the clerks' department that I

00:11:03 Speaker 11: just like to introduce to Council.

00:11:04 Speaker 11: Megan Hannah has joined us for

00:11:05 Speaker 11: the summer months and is doing

00:11:07 Speaker 11: a lot of great work already,

00:11:08 Speaker 11: writing policies and doing a lot

00:11:11 Speaker 11: of work in records management. So

00:11:16 Speaker 11: welcome, welcome, Megan. I'd also like

00:11:18 Speaker 11: to, yes, I'd also like to

00:11:21 Speaker 11: recognize Brittany Rye. This is her

00:11:24 Speaker 11: clerk with Gray County, so she's

00:12:01 Speaker 12: It is all about extreme weather

00:12:03 Speaker 12: right across the world, and then

00:12:04 Speaker 12: we also have a local stories

00:12:06 Speaker 12: changing weather exhibit put on by

00:12:08 Speaker 12: George and Bluffs Climate Action Team

00:12:09 Speaker 12: happening at the same time. So

00:12:10 Speaker 12: we're very excited about this exhibit.

00:12:11 Speaker 12: We think it's going to draw

00:12:15 Speaker 12: a lot of attention, and please

00:12:18 Speaker 12: come check it out at Gray

00:12:19 Speaker 08: Roots beginning this weekend. Thank you,

00:12:21 Speaker 08: Savannah. And I can tell you

00:12:23 Speaker 08: that as a as a farmer,

00:12:28 Speaker 08: the weather this spring has been.

00:12:30 Speaker 08: shall we say, a little backward.

00:12:31 Speaker 08: But the long-range calls: twenty-six degrees

00:12:34 Speaker 08: on Monday. I can't believe that.

00:12:35 Speaker 08: We'll see. It was three degrees

00:12:37 Speaker 08: and peeing down rain this morning

00:12:39 Speaker 08: when I left home. So it's

00:12:41 Speaker 08: a big improvement so far. We'll

00:12:43 Speaker 08: see. We'll see how the weekend

00:12:44 Speaker 08: plays out. What's that? There's nobody.

00:12:46 Speaker 08: Yeah, the black flies haven't been

00:12:52 Speaker 08: bad so far. That's true. True

00:12:55 Speaker 08: enough. There's always an upside. Okay,

00:12:58 Speaker 08: council. Any? news, celebrations, anything, Chair

00:13:00 Speaker 08: Councilor McQueen? Go ahead, please. Thank

00:13:02 Speaker 13: you, Mister Warden. Just to follow

00:13:05 Speaker 13: up, we were saying about the

00:13:07 Speaker 13: nursing first graduating nursing from the

00:13:13 Speaker 13: nursing program here in Jordan College.

00:13:14 Speaker 13: I attended that ceremony. My oldest

00:13:17 Speaker 13: son's partner graduated from that program.

00:13:20 Speaker 13: She was actually the Vala Victorian,

00:13:26 Speaker 13: McKenna Stewart, but I think that

00:13:28 Speaker 13: that. class started with thirty. There

00:13:29 Speaker 13: was fourteen graduated. Just you know,

00:13:31 Speaker 13: it's a tough tough program, probably

00:13:32 Speaker 13: as you maybe are aware as

00:13:33 Speaker 13: well. But it just life gets

00:13:36 Speaker 13: in the way and things change

00:13:37 Speaker 13: and all that kind of stuff.

00:13:40 Speaker 13: But yeah, it was. But nice

00:13:41 Speaker 13: to see those graduating students and

00:13:44 Speaker 13: certainly from a lot of or

00:13:45 Speaker 13: in our area. So it certainly

00:13:47 Speaker 13: helps out our healthcare locally. And

00:13:50 Speaker 13: I think that was the big

00:13:53 Speaker 13: part of that program, is the.

00:13:53 Speaker 13: four-year accreditation being at Georgian College

00:13:55 Speaker 13: allowed more local kids. I mean,

00:13:58 Speaker 13: I shouldn't call them kids; it

00:13:59 Speaker 13: could be, however, right to to

00:14:02 Speaker 13: attend that. And so, as that

00:14:08 Speaker 13: announcement got was announced back in

00:14:11 Speaker 13: 2020, so it's great to see.

00:14:12 Speaker 14: Thank you, Ball, Councillor Body. Thank

00:14:15 Speaker 14: you, Acting Warren Melman. Last night,

00:14:18 Speaker 14: some of us had the pleasure

00:14:20 Speaker 14: of attending something hosted by our

00:14:25 Speaker 14: MP. Alex Ruff and the Y,

00:14:27 Speaker 14: and it was welcoming new Canadians.

00:14:31 Speaker 14: And acting Acting Warren Millen was

00:14:32 Speaker 14: there, and Councillor De Brie and

00:14:36 Speaker 14: Councillor Carlton, and myself. Well, I'm

00:14:38 Speaker 14: not sure if there's anyone else.

00:14:41 Speaker 14: Pretty pretty special to see 15

00:14:42 Speaker 14: or 20 people that are getting

00:14:44 Speaker 14: their Canadian citizenship and are proud

00:14:50 Speaker 14: as can be, coming from all

00:14:57 Speaker 14: over the world. Some in. their

00:15:00 Speaker 14: traditional costumes isn't the right word,

00:15:01 Speaker 14: clothing and stuff. It was really

00:15:03 Speaker 14: special, and Alex has hosted it

00:15:05 Speaker 14: every couple of years, and it's

00:15:07 Speaker 14: really special to attend to welcome

00:15:12 Speaker 14: new Canadians to On Sound and

00:15:19 Speaker 13: else? Kelsey McQueen. Thank you, Mister

00:15:21 Speaker 13: Ward, and the County Council. I

00:15:24 Speaker 13: did forget a very important event

00:15:26 Speaker 13: coming up: the Ram Rodeo coming

00:15:29 Speaker 13: up on the 23rd and 24th

00:15:30 Speaker 13: again this year at the Fever

00:15:33 Speaker 13: Sham Community Center grounds. And this

00:15:35 Speaker 13: is our sixth annual Ram Rodeo,

00:15:37 Speaker 13: and the last five years we

00:15:40 Speaker 13: were able to raise $190,000 to

00:15:42 Speaker 13: our local health care services. So

00:15:44 Speaker 13: it's it's looks like it's going

00:15:45 Speaker 13: to be a fun-packed weekend. Also,

00:15:48 Speaker 13: you might have heard some. I

00:15:49 Speaker 13: don't know if you listen to

00:15:51 Speaker 13: Country 93 or one of their

00:15:53 Speaker 13: own sound stations. They're advertising. You

00:15:56 Speaker 13: might hear me go "Yeah" on

00:15:58 Speaker 13: there, and and so they're advertising

00:15:59 Speaker 13: the about the rodeo. And this

00:16:01 Speaker 13: year, Country 93 will be doing

00:16:02 Speaker 13: a video dance on Saturday night.

00:16:04 Speaker 13: Kinsmen are putting that on, so

00:16:06 Speaker 13: those that haven't been to a

00:16:06 Speaker 13: video dance for a while, might

00:16:10 Speaker 13: be an opportunity. And so it's

00:16:11 Speaker 13: going to be. I'll leave some

00:16:13 Speaker 13: some on here some some information

00:16:15 Speaker 13: on here. If anybody wishes to

00:16:18 Speaker 13: grab one, and look forward to

00:16:20 Speaker 13: that weekend, and hopefully the warm

00:16:22 Speaker 13: weather does come. Thanks, Paul, and

00:16:28 Speaker 15: congratulations to all the organizers for

00:16:31 Speaker 15: raising that money for the community.

00:16:34 Speaker 15: That's great. Anyone else, Councillor Apples?
