Thanks to the many people who have decorated their haunted houses with ghouls, ghosts, witches and our very own Game Of Thrones!!!! Rain or shine – the kids and parents will be out later today to ‘trick or treat’. Have fun finding these outstanding haunted houses.
Please wear bright clothing and drive carefully and watch out for our children. Be safe everyone.
The Village recently put a call out to the community for volunteers to bolster their ranks during an emergency. To assist the Westport Emergency Operations Centre, support is needed in three areas – note taking (scribe), canvassing residences and setting up reception centres. Several people responded to the call, including all members of Council. Training was provided in the morning of October 28 by Mayor Robin Jones, Councillor Barry Card and Alison Tutak, Director of Social Services for the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville. A full scenario exercise involving all of the students occurred in the afternoon, which gave the students an opportunity to apply what they had learned. Many thanks from all members of Council to those who stepped up. Your commitment will provide much needed support during an emergency.

This week we celebrate Small Business Week. Small businesses create many jobs and account for almost 98% of the businesses in Ontario. The business owners in Westport are key to the livelihood of our Village. They are professional, creative and hard working women and men. Give the next business owner you see in Westport a pat on the back and a hand shake.
Hope to see everyone tomorrow morning at the Breakfast with the Mayor.
The first speaker is Mr Barry Nabatian, A.A.S., B.Sc., M.Sc., who is the Director of Market Research at Shore.Tanner&Associates in Ottawa. He will be providing insight into retail markets and trends.
The second guest is Mr Stephen Rolston, owner of Land Ark homes and is the developer for the “Rice Farm” in Westport. Stephen will be sharing information on the residential development he plans for that property. This is an information session for Mr Rolston to share his plans.
If you are planning on breakfast, pls send Patti Mueller an email, so that the Cove has an accurate count. pmueller@villageofwestpot.ca
We will have two guests at the October 23 Breakfast with the Mayor being held at the Cove Country Inn. The first is Mr Barry Nabatian, A.A.S., B.Sc., M.Sc., who is the Director of Market Research at Shore.Tanner&Associates in Ottawa. He will be providing insight into retail markets and trends. Mr Nabatian had a delegation with Council on October 8 and we found his insights interesting.
The second guest is Mr Stephen Rolston, owner of Land Ark homes and is the developer for the “Rice Farm” in Westport. Stephen will be sharing information on the residential development he plans for that property. There will be other “procedural” meetings in relation to the land development, as they are required by law. This is an information session for Mr Rolston to share his plans. Please let your colleagues and friends know about these two presentations, they will be very informative.
To ensure that both speakers have adequate time, the presentations will begin at 8:30 sharp. Breakfast is served at 8:00. ($10 pp). Please let Patti Mueller know pmueller@villageofwestport.ca if you plan to come for breakfast, so she can let the Cove know.
All members of Council hope to see you on October 23, 2019.
Please call anytime if you have questions – 273-9195.
Robin, The Mayor
