  • Council accepted the annual audit of the Municipality’s finances, as presented by auditors from Grant Thornton.
  • The Cape Breton Partnership presented their Cape Breton First campaign – a shop, buy, eat local campaign to encourage Cape Bretoners to think first of their local businesses. Carla Arsenault, CEO of the Cape Breton Partnership,     highlighted that local Cape Breton businesses donate 2.5 times the amount big box stores donate to local non-profit fundraising campaigns. She encouraged all to spread the word with #cbfirst hashtag on social media shares.
  • More than 400 participants have voted on photos encouraging residents to snap a picture of a trail walk or a walk in nature. The project is one of Victoria County’s Active Living program.
  • Council will send a letter to TIR with the following concerns: multiple shoulder washouts in Ingonish due to the amount of rain that fell prior to hurricane Teddy, signage required near the post office in Iona and thanks extended to TIR for repairs on roads in Bay Road Valley and Washabuck.
  • During the recent visit of the HMCS Shawinigan, a plaque was presented to Council, which will be displayed beside the HMCS Baddeck bell in the courtroom. A photo of the plaque as well as a photo of the new Victoria County Volunteer Firefighter 25 Year Service award pin is below.
