Okay, folks. It is 6:00 p.m. So, we'll begin this committee of the whole uh Monday, July the 6th. So, we'll begin with our land acknowledgement with gratitude. The township of Leeds in the Thousand Islands acknowledges these lands and waters are the traditional territory of the Alangquin, Missagas, Mohawk, and Heron Wendat. To recognize the role the township must play in truth and reconciliation, we also acknowledge the displacement of these peoples. Additionally, the township would like to respectfully acknowledge the First Nations, Inuit, and Matei peoples who also call this place home. We make this land acknowledgement to honor the indigenous ancestors who have stewarded these lands and waters since time in memorial. So, we'll begin with the adoption of the agenda moved by Councelorlair, seconded by Councelor Robertson. Sorry, it's it's the signatures that throw me off. They're very similar. Uh that the agenda be adopted as circulated. Any amendments, changes? Seeing none, I'll call a question. All those in favor? Any opposed? And it is carried. Next item on the agenda is declaration of punary interest in the general nature thereof. Does anybody have an interest to declare? Have no hands up. And there is no close session this evening. So we'll go right into delegations. So we have the Rotary Club of Ganonway Whitney Kilgore to talk about Gray's Beach. So if you can come to the podium and we'll make sure the microphone is on and the floor is yours. Okay.
