As we get some relief from Covid-19 and the related adjustments, town-owned facilities are beginning to re-open to the public.
Within Public Health restrictions, municipal offices are now open, as is the public meeting room at the town office in Georgetown. The Montague Marina is now open. Operational plans for the Cavendish Farms Wellness Centre and the King’s Playhouse are being developed, as are solutions for the small community halls and playgrounds. The Garden of the Gulf Museum will open on June 30. More information will be published on the website as it becomes available. Please comply with all signage and help keep our community safe for everybody.

The lights on the JD MacIntyre ball field in Cardigan are looking great, and the site may even be remediated by the time this newsletter is distributed. The project will move on to the next phase with the review of tenders for the construction of a scorekeeper’s building.
The maintenance building on Grafton Street is closed in. When complete, it will provide a safer space for Town workers and proper storage for machinery and equipment.
A building being constructed on the Cardigan waterfront was intended by the former council for kayak storage, or possibly a kayak rental business. Anyone interested in using it this summer for those purposes or something similar is invited to contact Dorothy Macdonald at 902-652-2924.
