The New Dundee Board of Trade is considering initiating a community garden for residents of New Dundee.
Before we turn sod, we’re looking to measure interest in the community.
If you’re interested in participating in a community garden either by renting a plot (at a nominal fee) or helping us set up/maintain this, we need to hear from you! Please reach out to Glenn Cooke, by email at webmaster@newdundee.ca, or by phone at 519.696.2327.
The New Dundee Board of Trade’s April dinner meeting’s speaker was Rob Musselman from Pinehill Farms.
Pinehill farms is a young and growing u-pick and pre-picked strawberry farm. Started in 2015, they’ve grown from a half acre of berries to 5 acres for this year.
Located just outside of New Dundee at the north corner of Pinehill and Huron, they’re local and fresh.
The township has been reviewing potential changes to the kitchen in the community center. The township is seeking to standardize the various community centers across Wilmot. In addition some of the equipment (grill, dishwasher) are old enough that in addition to being prone to failure, they are becoming increasingly expensive to repair.
You can download a summary of the kitchen review by clicking here.
In addition, we understand that new ceiling tiles for the community center have arrived and are waiting to be installed.
Chairs in the community center are scheduled for cleaning 3rd quarter of this year.
Repairs/replacement of the damaged round tables is expected in 2020-2021.
To the dump, to the dump, to the dump dump dump.
