It’s been a long, wet winter, but we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring weather and being able to get out and enjoy all Cornwall has to offer. We are very excited about the lineup of great programs the Parks and Recreation Department has planned. There is something for everyone! This program lineup features over 40 programs being offered – from sports and leisure to gardening and general activities. We are overwhelmed with the positive response to our new line dancing program that filled up fast. We continue to offer before and after school camps and On My Own preschool program. We will start accepting registrations for summer camp as of April 15, 2019. The Town continues to strive towards investing time and money into our parks and trails, so please get out with your family and friends and enjoy the many fine parks the Town has, or perhaps take a walk on a community trail. Don’t forget to participate in the upcoming Easter Event and Cornwall Classic. Remember to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get all the updates on our current and upcoming programs. Enjoy the spring! Mayor Minerva McCourt

REMINDER TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PETS

Animal waste is unsightly and smelly but can also be hazardous to the health of our children who play in the

community and other pets. It is important to remember to immediately clean up after your pet. Take along a

baggie with you to pick up waste with and then dispose of it properly. By taking a few simple steps to clean up

after your pet, you can contribute to the beautification of our Town.

PLANNING REMINDERS

Fire Pits: Unless the fire is contained in a commercially produced and CSA or ULC approved chiminea with proper

spark arrestors in place, the fire is considered an open fire. Open fires are not permitted in the Town except for

in a recognized campground facility when the fire is enclosed in such a manner as may be prescribed in the

Provincial Fire Prevention Act and Regulations.

Pools: The Town would like to remind you that before purchasing your outdoor pool you should check with the
