FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(MIDLAND, ON) On February 8, 2018, the four Simcoe North municipalities (Penetanguishene,Midland, Tay and Tiny) will be holding a joint presentation of 13 Ways to Kill Your Community by author Doug Griffiths.

The presentation will focus on the factors and roadblocks to building successful communities, using the author’s vast experience as a former politician, and from talking with municipal and community leaders throughout North America.

The presentation will be held from 7-9pm in the Community Room at the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre located at 522 Len Self Boulevard in Midland.
