​Kincardine launches “Love It!” campaign

Kincardine councillor Beth Blackwell (above) enthusiastically announced the launch of “Love It!” at the council meeting Wednesday evening (Feb. 14).

The new campaign invites members of the community to share what they love about living, working, and playing throughout the local area.

“There’s so many special things about our community,” said Blackwell. “This is a chance for people to share the local places and unique experiences that bring them joy and make them feel grateful to live in our incredible community.”

The initiative is simple, with the municipality asking participants to take a moment to share the things that make them exclaim, “Love It!” when it comes to thinking about being a part of the Municipality of Kincardine.

It could be a favourite restaurant, store, park, mural, or trail. It could even be a program, facility, or a hidden gem waiting for discovery.

Those wishing to share, can visit www.kincardine.ca/LoveIt or pick-up and drop-off paper copies at the Davidson Centre, Municipal Administration Centre, or Tiverton Sports Centre.

“This is something that all ages and abilities can participate in,” said strategic initiatives manager Lorie Fioze. “Draw pictures, send photos, write poetry … pick your ‘Love It!’ and share.”

The municipality plans to share the thoughts, drawings, and photos (with permission) in various communications, and at regular council meetings.

The creative ways people can express their enthusiasm for the community with this program is unlimited and there is also no limit to the number of entries an individual may submit. For those who do take the time to enter, there will be random draws for a variety of prizes that celebrate the Municipality of Kincardine.

“There’s no better date to launch a program celebrating our community than on Valentine’s Day,” said Blackwell. “I am looking forward to hearing what people of all ages love about the Municipality of Kincardine. There’s no place like it on Earth, which is why I ‘Love It!’”
