congratulations to our public works staff

In the heavily regulated world of water and waste water operations, it is a long path of learning, applying and passing examinations to becoming an ORO – Overall Responsible Operator. The ORO is the person responsible for all facets of the water and waste water systems. For Westport, this is Mr Peter Evans.

In the past year, the Village hired two hard working employees who are learning the trades. Last week, Jamie Day and Brandon Monaghan passed the first big hurdle and now are licensed as Operators-In-Training (OIT).

Please give them a Westport wave or honk to recognize their hard work, in a year where learning and studying has additional challenges.

Well done Jamie and Brandon.

GIFT OF LIGHT – DECEMBER 12 – JANUARY 2

Thank you block captains. You have been very successful encouraging your neighbours to add a light, or two, or many to their outside Christmas decorating this year. The block captains are: Joyce Acton, Joan Barrett, Mary Anne Bishop, Kim Bonner, Jacky Brady, Barry Card, Judy Fielding, Robin Jones, Ami Merkley and family, Rob Roberts, Paul Thorp and Tara and John (Dancing Moon). Please give them a “tip of the hat” when you see them. I also want to give a shout out to the decorating teams at Olivet Baptist Church, Westport Free Methodist Church, St Edward’s Catholic Church, Knox Presbyterian Church and St Paul’s Anglican Church.

With the recent increase of the virus in the village and area and many people self isolating, more than ever we need to support each other. The GIFT of LIGHT creates a rainbow of colour on every street – and we know that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is our own Westport.

I am going to post a daily photo of some of our GIFTS of LIGHT. If you have a favourite, pls send it to me at rjones@villageofwestport.ca and I will post.

Today’s post to kick off the GIFT of LIGHT is from the Mayor, Council and Staff at Town Hall. Merry Christmas.
