Wide variety of activities planned for Family Day ROBIN KRAFFT Post Correspondent
The Town of Tillsonburg is hosting a variety of free events for Family Day on Feb. 16 at Annandale House National Historic Site and the Tillsonburg Community Centre. Celebrated by several provinces on the third Monday of February, Family Day emphasizes the importance of family bonds and time spent together with friends, relatives or found family. Annandale House NHS, located at 30 Tillson Avenue is hosting a "Wooly" Family Day and Open House featuring free fun for all ages from 10 am to 3 pm. Culture and Heritage Programs Coordinator Kathleen Watkin is looking forward to the event. “Families are invited to enjoy a variety of historical family games, a hot chocolate station, and a sweet treat,” Watkin said. “Visitors will also have the opportunity to create their own pom-pom animals. Knowledgeable guides will be available throughout the house to answer questions, and guests can participate in our annual family scavenger hunt. In addition, the exhibition Threads of the Past: Wool Artifacts from Our Collection will be open for viewing.” At the Tillsonburg Community Centre (45 Hardy Ave) a variety of events are taking place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., including inflatables, face painting, a mobile zoo and reptiles, balloon artists, and a magic show. There is a full schedule available online and there will be signage and schedules available at the event. It is recommended that families use the east entrance off the large parking lot.

Consultation open on town’s film policy JEFF HELSDON Editor
A consultation process is now open to garner input on the potential of Tillsonburg becoming a film-friendly community. A draft policy was brought to council last October, but council opted for a public consultation process before proceeding further. That consultation process opened Feb. 9 online, and will be available until March 13. There are also in-person sessions planned for Feb. 24 from 4 to 6 p.m. and March 5, 4 to 5 p.m.
The purpose of the policy is to tap into the multi-billion-dollar Ontario film industry. An announcement of the consultation read: “Ontario’s screen sector continues to generate significant economic activity across communities of all sizes. Film productions rely on local restaurants, accommodations, trades, and services; they also increase community visibility, encourage visitor interest, and contribute to economic diversification. By preparing a clear, film friendly framework, Tillsonburg aims to position itself to welcome appropriately scaled productions and support both residents and businesses.” ** Broker of Record
