Congratulations Harry Adrain!

On Sunday, September 30, Harry Adrain was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame!  This is well deserved recognition for one our Westport Native Sons.  And last night, I had the opportunity to represent Council and the Village to make a presentation to Harry at a party being held in his honour.

At this event, which was held at the Legion in Perth, I also saw first hand what being a member of the “ANT” family means – it means there are a whole lot of brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles and on and on who love spending time with each other.  Lucky people!

Congratulations again Harry.

REMINDER – BREAKFAST WITH THE MAYOR – TOMORROW (THURSDAY) @ 08:00 AT THE COVE CONTRY INN

The Village partnered with the Township of Wollaston-Coe Hill (Hastings County) earlier this year to participate in the First Impressions Community Exchange (FICE).  FICE is a program that has participants visit the other community and record their impressions to offer the host community a new perspective on the strengths and weaknesses from an outsider’s perspective.

Business Owners – Please join Mayor Robin Jones to discuss the results of the FICE experience. The slides prepared by Coe Hill will be presented. We will also do a first season wrap up of Le Boat.  

THANK YOU – Westport in Bloom

What an exceptional season of flowers in the Village.  As I walked the dogs this morning and noted that the hanging baskets and flower boxes have been removed, it was even more evident how magnificent they were this year.  The volunteers of Westport in Bloom tend the plants and municipal gardens with such care and attention throughout the summer that people are simply inspired!  The second year of the new banners continue to add the realism of our young people, ensuring their strong presence in the Village.

Thank you for all your hard work.  It is appreciated by all of us who live, work and visit the Village of Westport.
