On April Fools Day, the chamber wrote to council, asking them to declare another day rather than the first Monday in August as Civic holiday. Council decided to treat the letter as a joke, Since then the Chamber of Commerce got in touch with the chaniber in Port Stanley where Civic holiday is declared sometime in September so that banks, liquor stores, brewers' retail, and other services remain open to serve tourists on August first. Baird attended a chamber meeting where the plan was explained to him. He said that they had convinced him it would benefit the village. Reeve Sharen instructed clerk Louise Clipperton to YOUR CHOICE phone Port Stanley to find out what procedure they went through. She was also told to write letters to the banks, post office, the LCBO store and the brewers' retail store to get their opinion of changing the holiday. • In other business, council decided:-to ignore a request- from a helicopter pilot to land in the village because be hadn't yet attended a council meeting.
