Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

Swing Beam Barn Designation
On June 1 Council agenda there is a report recommending designation of 8580 19th Rd. For anyone who is interested in our rural history, specifically the early settlers, this designation will be of great interest. It is for the designation of a rare surviving example of a swing beam barn built circa 1849. The report is very comprehensive and for sure if you want to learn about why a swing barn...
