Where else but in Westport???

We have just experienced another exceptional example of what it means to live in Westport. Where else does the best day in October land on the 31st?  Where else do over 100 kids knock on the door for a trick or treat – and all do it wearing creative costumes…and with a joke or riddle?  Where else is there an adult close by for every child?  And, seriously, where else do so many people join the fun and turn their homes into haunted house?

Westport … our Village, our community.  Thank you for another scary, busy Hallowe’en.

Westport’s Own Sesquicentennial Competition – Create the Westport Brand!

Canada is turning 150 in 2017 and Westport is planning events all year.  And we want to make this our own, home grown celebration including our own 150th Branding – something that is unique to Westport.
The Mayor’s Sesquicentennial Task Force is holding a competition open to everyone, young and old, groups and individuals, school children, to create a brand that captures the uniqueness of Westport – our traditions, personality, geography, etc – as we celebrate Canada’s 150th.
Your entry must be suitable to be displayed in a variety of medium – i.e. paper, cloth, electronic and must include the Canada sesquicentennial flag somewhere in the design.
The deadline for submission is Friday, October 28 @ 4:00 p.m. and all entries become property of the Village.  Entries can be dropped off at Town Hall or emailed to Niki Bresse – nbresse@villageofwestport.ca.
Judging will occur on November 1 by a panel of judges selected from the Mayor’s Sesquicentennial Task Force.
The Prize? – the Pride of recognition and having your design displayed throughout 2017.
