Water Leak on County Road 10 – near Pond St at bottom of Foley Mountain

Thank you to the number of you who stopped me this morning while I was walking the girls, left voice messages and dropped by the house to let me know about the water on the road on County Road 10.  It must have been a surprise in the middle of this drought to run through some water!

Public Works has checked out the situation and confirm that it is chlorinated water and believed to be from the services running across the road.   Repairs are hopefully being scheduled for Monday morning when we can properly schedule traffic control, excavation and road paving.

Only the residents on Pond St may experience a service disruption while the repairs are underway and they will be notified by Public Works.

Please call if you have any concerns… 9195

Thanks

The Stage at Lockwood is for everyone to enjoy!

The list submitted to Trillium for potential users of the stage was long and it is the hope of all of us at Town Hall and Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee that everyone takes the opportunity to use it.  For sure family picnics and reunions are high on the list.  Other suggestions are:  Westport Arts Council for MUSICWestport and other musical/drama events, community choir practice/performances, yoga/fitness, summer youth camps,  live Shakespearean theatre or other live performances (high school?), art shows, heritage day festival, Remembrance Day Service, July 1st celebrations, adult band practice/performance, Open Mic Music nights, Movie nights and on and on.

There is no fee to use the stage, but you need to reserve it by contacting Patti Mueller at pmueller@villageofwestport.ca or call her at 2191.

Scott Blair and his crew have done an incredible job of building this stage.  Benches will be added soon, however the lack of those shouldn’t interfere with your activity.

Enjoy the summer in your park!

Canada Day Celebrations in the Village

Yes, it was a little warm – however that didn’t get in the way of a large crowd coming to Lockwood Park this afternoon to celebrate Canada Day.  The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing was in the ‘Port and had some very inspiring words for the people and businesses of our Village.

Congratulations to May LaHey who is Westport’s Senior of the Year for 2018.  Such a great Ambassador.  Steve, Frank Huth and I cut the ribbon to “officially open” the new stage.  The Royal Canadian Legion Upper Rideau Branch #542  Colour Party took the lead for the parade, followed by Mary Cowan chauffeuring the “Senior of the Year” and supported by the Westport Fire Fighters and the Westport Arts Council’s float. And lots and lots of kids, bikes and moms and dads.  So much fun for everyone!

Hope everyone had a good time!

When the going gets tough…

This afternoon, in heat that felt like 40 degrees, a few brave souls laid hundreds of rolls of sod at Lockwood Park.  The goal was to finish off the landscaping around the natural playground, cenotaph, basketball court and stage before Canada Day.  And the goal was reached.  Thanks to Green Street Challenge and Elizabeth Hess for the sod.

And who were the brave souls who defied the heat to get the job done?  I want to thank, Paul and Heather Snider, Mark and Miriam Snider, Phil and Maureen and Matthew Young, Peter Evans, Derek Palmer and Elizabeth Hess.

Come see for yourself!  July 1st @ 1:30.  Official Opening of the stage by The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the announcement of the 2018 Senior of the Year take place before we kick off the Canada Day parade.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!
