President’s message

We have had an unexpected change in the Executive at Branch 29 Legion. Don MacLeod has resigned as President due to personal reasons. Roy Haggart 1st Vice President has stepped up as President, Earl MacDonald has stepped to 1st Vice President and Barry Humphrey has Stepped to 2nd Vice President.

We would like to express our gratitude to Don for his leadership as President over the past couple of years and wish him well going forward.

July is coming to an end and the weather has been a mix of very heavy rain and gorgeous sunny hot days. Welcome to Ontario.

During the month of June, the Bylaw Enforcement Dept. for the County of Brant received some complaints about the noise on the patio. The noise originated from our Saturday afternoon music on the Patio 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Bylaw Dept. due to the complaints advised we were in violation of the County Noise Bylaw and would need to stop “all” outdoor music. This was then tied to our extended outdoor patio License.

We are aware of the residential nature of the neighbourhood and its relationship with the Branch.

We apologize to our neighbours and attempt at all times to monitor activity at the Branch so as not to disturb anyone.

It is our intention to organize a neighbourhood meeting at the Branch late September to discuss any concerns our neighbours may have and work collectively to a resolution of same.

July has been a busy month with BBQ’s slowly coming back, a pool tournament, Trivia and a couple of Bands indoors. All well attended
