What a fun day! The Kingston Skating Academy presented an amazing figure skating demonstration. Thank you Sharon Nixon and all of the skaters. Team Steve Clark (Our MPP and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing) and Team Rick Smith (former Boston Bruins and huge supporter of all things hockey in Westport including the Shinny program) provided support to the U7 scrimmage game. Lots of prizes given to those for best costumes and joining the 3:00 – 4:00 free skate, with live music from Eric Uren. Tug of war competitions gave everyone a chance to “pull” and others to test their skill at nail driving. Special thanks to the Westport Station fire fighters for their participation today.
Thank you FOTA (FRIENDS OF ARENA) for organizing such a great family day for the community. Special mention to Barry Card, Steve Merkley, Ami Carty, Bob Scott and all of the volunteers who worked to make this day so much fun. And to the community members who joined the Westport Family Day, thank you – we are stronger together.

Thanks to MPP Steve Clark for arranging a briefing with the Premier and Retired General Hillier today. The 444 Ontario Mayors learned that the roll out of vaccines in Ontario will begin shortly. It is all good news!.
General Hillier explained that the province will be supplied by Pfizer and Moderna. Both vaccines require two shots, 21 days apart. Distribution will be phased in with the most vulnerable in Phase #1. The general population should receive vaccinations beginning in (approximately) April and continue for 6-9 months.
There will be more information made available to you in the next few weeks from the Ministry of Health. Until then, there is a plan and it will roll out in 2021.
MPP Steve Clark has recognized that we have the know how and perseverance to keep ourselves and the Village COVID free. As the evidence of moving into Phase 3 is clearly visible in the Village, please remain vigilant and remember to practice the public safety rules that we all know so well: frequent hand washing/sanitizing, physical distancing of 6 ft, wear a mask when you can’t physically distance or inside any public place, stay home if you are feeling ill.
Thank you for taking the time to send this scroll of appreciation to the Village MPP Clark.
Robin, The Mayor
