Tidnish & Area Spring Clean-Up
In early April there was a Facebook entry of a local resident cleaning up ditches in her local area. Soon after there were many entries from local residents applauding her efforts and deciding to also participate in cleaning up their local areas. Seeing the positive entries from the community the President of the TCCA has asked all residents if they would help clean up their community. He would have the county place a dumpster or more if needed in the area for residents to place the garbage after collection. Many residents came forth with planning their own clean-up of their local area, roads and shoreline. I heard there were 73 likes on Facebook for this topic.
The date was set for Saturday & Sunday May 1st and 2nd. The dumpsters were delivered Friday to 4 different locations and there was a huge influx of residents who came in during the weekend with there bags to drop off. By Sunday afternoon two of the four bins were full and the other two were filled by Monday morning.
This very well could become an annual event and be a great opportunity to take pride in your community, gather as a group each spring to socialize and clean up after a long winter.
The board is asking all residents to come forward with their thoughts and suggestions on how we go forward with this clean-up.
For TCCA members who don't have Facebook you can still go on the site as it is open to everyone. You will be able to scroll through several entries of the clean-up and some with photos. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TCCA2011/
Thank You very much to everyone who participated in this clean-up. Well done.
Hopefully next year the bags will be fewer and smaller.

Greetings all TCCA members,
Here is a notice from Rod Gilroy via Facebook.
The Dumpsters will be arriving today and tomorrow for this weekend's clean up. They will be in the following locations:
(1) In front of the Riverside restaurant
(2) In Kevin Tuttle's yard
(3) In the yard at Peter and Marsha Greeno
(4) at the corner of the Mud Creek Road and 366 on Bill Dowe's lot.
The garbage doesn't have to be sorted . Please if you leave bags, etc on the side of the highway please let us know so we can pick it up or deliver it to one of the dumpsters.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help.
Rod
Please keep this program to clean up our ditches in the area. Do not bring any other garbage. Keep that for the annual Spring Clean-up of the county.
Hopefully we will make this an annual event for the community.

Wild Game Supper
A snowy, cold windy day greeted everyone for the 6th annual TCCA Wild Game Supper held on Saturday March 27th. After a couple of days preparing the meals on Thursday & Friday the doors opened at 4pm and the last supper was sent out at 6:30pm. One hundred and forty-one suppers were served by a large host of volunteers.
The supper was a last minute event as it was voted on at the March meeting to have the supper. Over the month volunteers collected and prepared the food for the supper.
Hopefully next year we will all get together and have a real social gathering at the hall. Thanks to everyone for supporting the event and to all the volunteers for putting it together.
"Thank You to all our wonderful volunteers : Ali and Gunter Holthoff, Kelly Spicer, Andrew and Patti Gilroy, Reese Blakeney, Jim Langille, Blair and Marcella Andres, Stephen and Robin Thompson, Ross and Nancy Baxter, Elda Baxter, Joe O halleran, Larry and Brigitte Mclean, Chris and Beth Dobson, Mike Purdy, Melissa Doherty and Pierre Pinet . Thank you to our sponsors and cash donors : Mike Purdy, Amherst Jr A Ramblers, Sue and Ted Embree, Royal Lepage Cumberland Realty, Hawkes Blueberries Ltd, Sobey's Amherst and Bill Woo's Kitchen.

During 2020 The Tidnish Bridge Fire Dept. raised money to cover the cost of two new engines for their Zodiac rescue boat. Later in the spring the money was raised and the engines were ordered to be ready for the summer months.
“In the summer months our shorelines are home to an estimated 8,000 cottage goers, swimmers, boaters, and tourists,” he said. “In the past eight years our department has averaged four rescue calls a summer.” said Chief Andy Fullerton.
