Re: the gravel pit application for Witmer Rd. She asks people to contact her to express their concerns, and they can include other members of council, too, so they're aware of residents' concerns.

Someone asks about the schedule for work on the Bridge St bridge.

Question about whether Coun Hallman will be taking part in an online town hall with Mike Harris Jr MPP. She says she doesn't know if he has any planned, but Tim Louis MP has been holding them with regional mayors. She doesn't know if any are scheduled with Mayor Armstrong.

She gives a shout out to volunteers as this is National Volunteer Week. She notes that visitors to Wilmot who comment that there are so many events in the township, which couldn't happen without volunteers. She appreciates that this year is difficult, as she's a volunteer herself

Potholes! These can be reported by residents on the township's website: forms.wilmot.ca/Public-Works/P….

MP Tim Louis is on Facebook! He comments that he holds a live online town hall every Monday evening. He is working on one with Mayor Armstrong.

Question about garbage dumping on roads. Who to report to depends on if it is a regional or township road.

Another comment on FB, as a resident reminds people that people are being asked to wear red on Friday to show solidarity with people in Nova Scotia.

Someone asks why Wilmot isn't holding council meetings when other municipalities are. Coun Hallman assures the resident that staff are still working, and as soon as there is a council meeting - online or in chambers - she will let people know.

The next town hall hosted by Coun Hallman will be about New Dundee topics.

No more questions, so she bids everyone "buonanotte".
