CORRESPONDENCE: All relevant correspondence was shared with Council via email and only that that required action is listed below. a) Use of Legion/Community Centre for Non-Profit Organizations There was a request from Minnie’s Furry Friends to use the Legion/Community Hall for monthly bingos to raise money for this organization. (It was later learned that they may not go ahead with this because of the need of permits from the Lottery Corp to hold such events.) It was discussed that any registered Non-Profit Organization from the Town would be permitted to use the Legion/Community Hall free of charge for fund raising activities. Councillor Baker motioned to permit registered non-profit organizations from the Town to hold fund raising events at the Legion/Community Centre, Councillor Quinlan seconded the motion, motion carried. b) Voluntary Vulnerable Persons Registry Council discussed the possibility of establishing a voluntary vulnerable persons registry. This registry would be for residents of the Town that have severe difficulty with mobility, vision/hearing impairment, developmental disabilities, cognitive impairment, mental health issues or any resident who requires electricity for life sustaining equipment such as life support, oxygen, dialysis, etc., during a state of emergency. As the Town has limited resources, it was felt that this should be something EMO should be establishing and would work with the REMO, if they should decide to move in this direction.
