FYI regarding the upcoming drone activity
We are starting to work with the various government agencies to obtain the permits for aquatic weed spraying for 2019.
Part of that process involves measuring the location quantity, thickness and types of weeds and nutrients in our canals.
To do that the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks will be in our community and will be flying a UAV (Drone) over our canals, the Coleman Drain etc. as well as taking pictures on the ground.
The information will also be helpful in our attempts to try and improve the situation in the Aquan Canal (the back canal) and Lee's Creek leading to the bay.
This will most likely occur this Tues. Aug 13th or Wed.Aug. 14th.
This is to let you know they will be here, what they're doing and why they're doing it.

A message from Jennie Wells
Dear Supporters,
Another exciting MS Bike is done for 2018. Thank you so much for making this weekend a success for me, my team Rondeau Riders, and the MS Society. The Grand Bend-London event raised 1.4 million dollars for research to fight and cure MS. Another important deliverable for this event is to educate the public about MS and that Canada has the highest rate in the world. A colleague, Dr. Sarah Morrow, a neurologist and MS researcher at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, spoke at the event and thanked the participants for the hard work that goes into this important event.
There were over 1500 rider-fundraisers this year. This is my 6th year riding. Thanks to you, Rondeau Riders, a small team of 6 people in 2018, raised $9,731 this year! Everyone on my team finished happily and safely. I have posted pictures of the team before and after on Facebook. We were also featured on CTV news on Saturday night while I was busy at the MS Society meetings for participants on the Western University campus (so I missed it). I must also say thanks to all the volunteers in the communities enroute and all the road marshalls and planners/preparers who make this a safe event.
Thank you for supporting me in my fundraising efforts for MS Bike! Today, you should feel proud that you’ve shown your support for Canadians affected by MS. Rondeau Riders with me as Captain is registered again to ride 27-28 July 2019!
