CHANGE OF DATE FOR REGULAR NOVEMBER COUNCIL MEETING 

At the November 7th Special Council meeting, council members considered a request to change the date of the scheduled council meeting on November 12th.  Council members decided to change the date of this meeting to November 18th at the regular time of 6:30 pm.  

AMAR SEAFOOD PROJECT

In April 2024, the Municipal Office received an application from Amar Seafood to rezone the property they own across the road (PID #207290) from their current facility and to build another facility on that property. The Planning Board and Council have been working with CAO Yves Dallaire to process the application.  At a Special Council meeting held on November 7th, 2024 Council members asked CAO Dallaire to provide the public with an update on where the Municipality is with the Amar application process and provide a synopsis of the next steps that will be taken. Council members felt that it would be beneficial for the public to understand what is happening at this time and what may be happening in the near future.

I hope everyone has had the opportunity lately to enjoy the extended warm weather we have been getting lately.  It looks very much like it is coming to an end later this week.  On a personal note, Leslie-Ann and I have been in Ottawa for the last week or so for medical tests etc.  As we all know, there are limited health services provided by our provincial government and it is sometimes necessary to go out of province to get the care we need.  For anyone looking for us, we plan to be back in PEI before the end of the month.
