Special Thanks from Ottawa Bicycle Club
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

Please make your plans for next Sunday taking into consideration that Hydro One has scheduled a power outage, which will affect us in the Village. It will begin at 6:00 a.m. and power should be back on by 11 AM.
Happy Labour Day!
September – a month full of new activity. Students are getting ready to begin a new year, a new class and are excited about returning to school and catching up with friends they haven’t seen since June. For parents, it is arranging schedules to get their children to sports and other organized activities as well as driving older children to colleges and universities. And for businesses in Westport, it is time to catch their breath!
I hope that everyone enjoyed a hot and sunny summer and are looking as forward to the cool, crisp days of autumn colour as I am.
A couple of things to share with you. You may have seen lots of activity at the arena last week including yesterday. I learned this morning that all of the new ice making equipment is now installed and running very well. Looks positive for the first Rideaus game on Friday night @ 8:00 pm.
You may also have noticed some water on the road in the area of 26 Bedford St. This situation is being closely monitored. At this point in time, the repair is planned to begin on Tuesday morning.
Council meeting this week is Wednesday night @ 7:00 p.m. Please join us if you can.
Robin, The Mayor
