Zip! Omemee Residents “Left Holding The Bag”

Speedy Sanitation Workers Clean Up in No Time Flat - Leave Unwary Residents Sitting With Bags of Garbage

The Trash Bag Crop is ThrivingOn Tuesday, residents who had not set their garbage out early were literally left holding their bags. Although the Residential Waste Calendar warns: ”Curbside set out time is 7:00 a.m. (6:00 a.m. in some downtown cores)." and " The truck may not always come at the same time every week."
Many Omemee residents, have become used to the recycling truck arriving as late as 4 p.m. in the afternoon. Therefore, rather than put their trash and recycling out early in the morning, or the prior evening, they choose to set it out closer to the expected arrival of the truck that lumbers along the streets.

Omemee Obituary Notices

Avoid Embarrassment Check Obituaries Daily!

About these Obituary Listings

Too often we find out too late that a relative or friend has passed away. Other than checking the funeral Homes on a daily basis how can we know, so we can pay our condolences in a timely manner? At one time the local radio station carried the obituary notices at a certain time each day, but people do not always have the luxury of listening to the radio. Newspapers carry the listings, but often it is too late by the time we’ve received the paper.

It is five years since my mother passed away, yet each week someone asks how she is doing. What do you say? It’s embarrassing for the person who asked, and awkward, to say the least, for the person answering the question. These listings are courtesy of Canadian Obituaries.com

Online Obituary Notices through Canadian Obituaries .com is very helpful, you can access obituary notices 24-7 from your computer.Canadian Obituaries .com has a searchable data base for Obituaries listed across Canada.The obituary listings below contain a variety of references to Omemee, so you will find listings of former residents, relatives of residents, and interments at Emily-Omemee cemetery.

Lady Eaton Elementary School Principal Retiring

Principal Announces Retirement

Lady Eaton Elementary School principal, B.J. Mailloux-Brown, announced her coming retirement in the March issue of the Lady Eaton Elementary School Newsletter. In a letter addressed to parents, Ms. Mailloux-Brown reported it is “with mixed emotions” that she will be taking retirement as of April 30th, 2011.

In the March newsletter, the LEES principal reflects on her teaching career of thirty–one years, and her enjoyment in working with the families and staff of schools in the Victoria County ( now Trillium-Lakelands) school board.

Principal Mailloux-Brown points out that by taking retirement at the end of April, it will allow for a smooth transition for the new incoming principal. Ms. Mailloux-Brown and her husband are looking forward to their daughter’s wedding in June, and are planning to move closer to her daughter and new husband when she retires, so they will be very busy in the coming months.

You will want to be sure to read her heart warming letter in the eCopy of the newsletter found here.

Letters of Congratulations can be addressed to:
