If you were not fortunate enough to be at Shillington Park on July 16 when Fanny gave her speech on growing up in North Crosby, then you missed a poignant, yet very funny story telling. Fanny – you are one in a million!
With Frances’ permission, I have printed it for your pleasure.
If you need to contact someone outside of regular business hours for an emergency in the Village – i.e. water pipe break, alarm sounding, pls feel free to call me at home – 613-273-9195 or text/email me at rjones@villageofwestport.ca.
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.
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.
