Thank you to all involved in planning such a busy and fun-filled day. It began with the Library Board cooking breakfast on Spring St., the Westport Council recognizing David Egan as Westport’s Senior of the Year (congratulations Dave!) and Westport Arts Council unveiling their 2024 Art on the Street “one-of-a-kind” Muskoka chairs.
The bicycle parade was earlier this year – at 10:30 – and so many children were riding the route with their parents, grandparents and family pets. The Westport Legion Colour Party and the Lions Club led the parade and the OPP and Rideau Lakes Fire Department lent their presence to keep us safe. Thank you.
The afternoon at Lions Beach was full of games and fun activities. Of course, it all winds up at dusk with the fireworks near the Legion. Lots more going on in the area.
Westport Council hopes everyone enjoyed the Day. Glad you joined in!
On behalf of ROMA and AMO, Mayor Robin Jones introduced Deputy PM Freeland at media conference at the AMO offices in Toronto. Great news for rural Ontario.
The excitement builds in the Village each spring as the wooden flower boxes are set out. No flowers yet – but we know what is coming! And then it seems like in a blink of an eye, we have beautiful flower boxes, baskets and gardens.
Thank you to each Westport Bloom Volunteer for making our Village a colourful and welcoming place for people to live and visit.
This afternoon (Mar 7 – 24), the Ontario government introduced legislation Enhancing Professional Care for Animals Act. The Act would improve transparency and align oversight of the veterinary profession with other regulated professions in Ontario. It would also explicitly recognize the role of veterinary technicians as part of the broader animal care team in the delivery of veterinary medicine. In combination with regulations, this legislative framework would also enable the recognition of other non-veterinary animal care providers.
Minister Lisa Thompson made the announcement today with many rural and agricultural stake holders in the Legislature. Thank you for including ROMA on the guest list. It was great to catch up with so many friends.
Robin, The Mayor
