There was some discussion last week about Dysart et al potentially implementing some new “diversity and inclusion” measures in the future.
Andrea Mueller, Dysart’s recreation coordinator, filled council in on the numerous training sessions she has participated in over the past year focusing on the importance of creating an open and accepting environment for all community residents.
“In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about diversity, inclusion and accessibility,” Mueller told council. “The trend right now is to further promote diversity and inclusion, and to take away gender options altogether, or have more than ‘male or female’ options for people to choose from.”

With outdoor activities such as dogsledding, ice-climbing, and bonfire feasting where the young and young at heart would eat s’mores by a fire, the Frost Festival always brought joy to Haliburton.
Its venue Head Lake Park was often warmed by the many smiles of those who came, bringing light to a dark time of the year. However several weeks before the announcement of the provincial lockdown, which started on Boxing Day, the winter tradition was cancelled.
