Playground equipment is being installed at Lockwood Park!

Thanks to everyone who supported the Village in last year’s Aviva Insurance voting, we received a $10K grant for accessible playground equipment.  It is being installed today in Lockwood Park.  No tax dollars were used for any of the additions or changes in Lockwood.  A Trillium grant provided funding for the stage, an Aviva grant covered the new playground equipment and the Lockwood Foundation donated $25K and matched funds ($75K) raised by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. Congratulations and thank you to everyone who has contributed … the park has become a very popular place to spend time.

Come by the park later this afternoon and take a swing or a turn on the new equipment.

We are “tail end charlie” for street cleaning this spring

The Village is part of the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville (UCLG) contract for spring street cleaning.  Apparently, the wet spring has played havoc with the contractor’s schedule.  Once we hear when the street cleaners will be in the Village, I will blog to let you know.  I know this is frustrating to everyone, particularly after a winter that required so much sand to be used due to the ice. Hang in there!
