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!

The Rideau District High School is hosting an exchange this week with students from Swan Valley Secondary School (Manitoba). Our Rideau students traveled to Manitoba in September of 2018.

4pm-Hike on Foley Mountain
5pm-tour of the museum
6pm-BBQ in Lockwood Park hosted by the Village of Westport.
Please give them a hometown Westport wave today if you see them and plan on visiting with the students at Lockwood at the end of their visit to our Village.
Thanks to Cynthia and John for making this day possible for the students and for us.

Marianne Roberts -Westport’s WOMAN OF THE YEAR 2019
Mary Cowan has been holding the WOMAN OF THE YEAR recognition for over 20 years. Each spring she receives nominations of women who work for the betterment of the Village of Westport through their church, community groups and businesses.
On May 26, at the Cove Country Inn, Mary announced that the WOMAN OF THE YEAR for 2019 is Marianne Roberts. The name of the award winner is the best kept secret in Westport, and Marianne arrived at the Cove with her husband, daughter and son-in-law expecting to congratulate another woman! Many of Marianne’s friends joined her to celebrate. Marianne’s husband, Rob, gave a lovely speech that outlined many of the endeavours Marianne has supported.
Congratulations Marianne! Well deserved and many thanks for all you do for the Village of Westport.
Robin, The Mayor
