Concert in Minto
The town is in discussions with an organization called The Concert Factory that has requested permission to hold music concerts on municipally owned property June 19, 2010.
In 2008, Minto staff investigated the possibility of renting a portion of the Harriston arena property to The Concert Factory. Last year, TCF ran a successful event called Saugeen Summer Nights at a site that has over 150 seasonal renters in a trailer park (not in Minto). Apparently TGF wants to move the concerts to Clifford and Harriston.

TG Minto helps local food bank
TG Minto employees raised a whopping $1,270 for the food bank. There was a contest between various departments within the plant. The company agreed to match funds, up to $1,000. That makes the total donation to the food bank $2,270. The money was dropped off at the food bank, along with food items and gift donations.
