Lagoon City Signage
Lagoon City should have a welcome sign at both entrances outlining the LC rules. EXAMPLE. Do not go on private property, Do not park on roads, Do not fish off bridges, Do not fly drones, Do not take pictures... (CRAZY) we do live in 2020 but it seems to be a major issue. There isn’t much else for them to do but at least they know. This would really help manage the growing frustration and racism in the area. It is becoming a very big problem as residents are yelling, swearing and running people off private property and beaches. When visitors come to Lagoon City, they are excited to explore and may potentially buy property BUT have no idea what the rules are or where to go to get info. I believe that would relieve a lot of pressure on residents and may calm the chaos. COVID has certainly escalated these problems but they are historical issues that should be better managed so the voices of LC don’t overpower those of all the other residents of Ramara.

Promote the care and wellbeing of pets in our community.
Rather than continuously pushing licensing of our dogs adnauseum, start promoting spay/neuter programs available in our area, advocate for the wellbeing of our pets and set up a proper website page linked to your new main one, which clearly indicates status of animals picked up or surrendered and what happened to them all... rather than vague numbers provided at council meetings which contain no specific details. Hire someone mandated to perform all of these tasks and be accountable. Lose the ‘dog catcher/animal control’ 1970s language and the attitude with it. We love our small town but things need to move forward with respect to the humane care of animals. People shouldn’t feel afraid to report something because we are a small town and ‘word will get around’ or something won’t get investigated because those investigating ‘know’ the parties involved. The animal cruelty laws in Ontario are changing and we need to keep up in our community. We can do better in our lovely Ramara!

Blue Community Status For Ramara Township
There are Canadians becoming more and more involved in taking action to address the growing challenges to our environment. The Council Of Canadians is one such group that is promoting the Blue Communities campaign, which now includes communities in Ontario such as Tiny Township, Tay Township in Simcoe County, Ajax, Kingston, Welland, Niagara Falls, St. Catherines and as well as many more communities. Where is Ramara Township, the City of Orillia or the City of Kawartha Lakes with regard to acknowledging the benefits of adopting a Blue Community status?

Kayaks, Canoes and Paddle Boards
With regards to the ban of boats in the Lagoon City canals ... why not allow kayaks, canoes and paddle boards which are sitting in our slips and don’t need to be launched. This is another form of exercised which uses social distancing because no-one wants to run into another boat.

Rama Center for the Arts
Convert old Domtar factory on Lake St John to a Center for the Arts. There could be a permanent Indigenous Gallery as well as temporary installations by visiting artists. Ongoing Art courses like in Haliburton or Banff would also bring money to the community and local businesses, as well as provide a different attraction than the casino. An indoor restaurant plus outside patio would further enhance the attraction.
