I received this email last week and checked that I could post it. Thank you to everyone who works so hard and makes our village the friendliest place to visit (and live!). Job well done!!
p.s. The bike repair kit Ruth mentions was donated by Rick Bonner and is on the Information Centre.

Hello Robin;
My name is Ruth Bonk and I am the touring events director for the Ottawa Bicycle Club.
We held our very first club touring event in Westport in May this year. We stayed at the Cove Inn. The feedback we have received from that event has been very positive and I want to share it with you.
Our riders found the area roads and drivers lovely and bicycle friendly. We have received comments on how nice it was that you visited and welcomed the group in person. There were remarks about how clean the tourist office and public washrooms are. We have even received a picture of the bicycle maintenance tool kit at your municipal office.
Thank you for your welcome and bicycle friendly environment.
We hope to add the Westport tour to our roster of annual touring events.
Regards,
Ruth Bonk
OBC Touring Events Director
Robin, The Mayor
