The Milton Community Hall has been approved to participate in a Red Cross “Stop the Spread” rapid screening test program. The tests are now available for participants/volunteers at events and activities at the hall. They are optional. As the hall must report (anonymously) the results of the tests, they must be done at the hall. The Red Cross requires that they only be used for people who are 18+, have no symptoms and have not been identified as close contacts. People swab their own noses, then usually return swabs to a hall volunteer for the rest of the testing process. The program requires that the hall report the numbers of tests and positive and negative results (no names) to Red Cross regularly and they have given us a waiver form for people to consent to report data to the Canadian Red Cross and to ensure they have consent to use the data to fulfill its obligations to Health Canada. There is also a video (no sound) that shows the testing procedure. The rapid tests should help to give everyone a bit more comfort attending events/activities. The tests are not mandatory, but given the high transmissibility of Omicron, we hope being able to be tested will help to keep everyone safer. It will allow those who may be contagious to learn that before symptoms appear, so can reduce the chances of infecting others. Anyone who tests a presumptive positive is asked to be tested at the Provincial PCR testing site to confirm results, and let the hall know the results of that testing, so it can be reported to Red Cross.
If anyone might be interested in volunteering to assist with the testing and record keeping during the half hour (approximately) before events, please contact the hall at 902-566-3154. Training and PPE will be provided.
The hall also received a limited number of rapid tests which can be used off-site, for all-ages, and do not require reporting of results. Contact the hall if you might need a rapid test from this batch (eg. Youth, housebound person…)
Also – the Municipality is updating its Emergency Management Plan -and would like to include the names and phone numbers of residents who might be willing to assist in an emergency situation (if available). If you have specialized equipment or skills that could be helpful in an emergency -such as snowmobiles, ATV, medical training, fluency in other languages, portable generator… please let the Council office know. As well, if anyone is interested in being on the Emergency management committee, please let Shari know.
Reminder, vax passes are required for all activities at the Milton Community Hall, and people with any Covid-19 symptoms should not enter the hall.
Also – if residents are reminded that if you are registering your children for extracurricular events and activities that there is a Child Bursary Program which will reimburse up to $75/child per year (April 1-March 31). If you are not sure if you have already received the bursary this year, check the list of recipients here. The application form for the bursary and the rebates for low flow replacement toilets or showerheads rebate or HE washer rebate is also there.
Also, usually this is the week we make the blankets for Family Violence Prevention Week, but this important week has been moved to the spring, so blanket making will also happen in May.
Happy Valentines!

Christmas in the Kitchen -Monday, Dec 13 7:30
Published on Dec 9, 2021
Holiday cheer will take centre stage in Charlottetown, Summerside, Victoria, and Milton this December with the debut of Christmas in the Kitchen. The festive new show from Campbell Webster Entertainment, the production company behind the internationally-acclaimed Anne & Gilbert - The Musical, will play seven shows across four PEI stages.
Christmas in the Kitchen takes place at the Milton Community Hall on Monday, December 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the hall - 902-566-3154 or miltoncommunityhall@gmail.com, by cash, cheque or e-transfer.
“Christmas in the Kitchen is a uniquely PEI celebration of the season. It brings together the ingredients that make for a rip-roaring PEI kitchen party - storytelling, toe-tapping tunes, and loads of good cheer - and wraps them all around the holiday theme,” said Campbell Webster, the show’s producer.
The yuletide production, which was created by Nicholas Whelan and Suzy Wilde, will showcase some of PEI and Canada’s most accomplished musicians performing exciting new arrangements of classic Christmas songs.
“We’re thrilled to bring Christmas in the Kitchen to two PEI stages after a successful run of the Together At Last Festival,” said Whelan, who co-produced and performed in the 8-week festival this past summer, which included productions of A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline, Anne Mixtape and WANNABE: A Spice Girls Tribute. “Some of the same musicians that performed in Together At Last will be joining the cast of our new holiday show and we’re excited to bring such a high-caliber ensemble of talent together.”
The cast will be led by Wilde, Whelan, and well-known Island storyteller, Alan Buchanan. They will be joined by talented Island musicians Paul Hopkins, Jenna Marie Holmes, Michael Peters, Tuli Porcher, and Pat King. With a focus on celebrating Canadian talent, Christmas in the Kitchen will feature music from The Rankin Family, David Myles, Anne Murray, Great Big Sea, and other popular artists.
“There will be fiddles, there will be folklore, and there will be lots of fun,” said Whelan. “We’re all looking forward to bringing a new take to some of the season’s most popular songs and interspersing them with plenty of hilarity from the master storyteller himself, Allan Buchanan.”
The all-ages production is proudly sponsored by Discover Charlottetown, Holland College, and Island Hill Farm.
“We had so much fun this summer working on the productions that made up Together At Last and now we’re bringing something really special to the stage for the holidays that’s heart-warming and bound to get everyone into the festive spirit. It feels like the best kind of reunion and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to our Christmas kitchen party,” said Webster.
Tickets for Christmas in the Kitchen are now on sale for shows at the Victoria Playhouse (Dec 12), Milton Community Hall (Dec 13), The College of Piping and Performing Arts Centre (Dec 14), and Florence Simmons Performance Hall (Dec 15, 16, and 18).
