Sometimes, it is the little things…

I have commented before about the pride that we take in our Village and the different ways it can be seen, felt and touched.  Some businesses have taken the big step this year to make major changes to their stores, several new business have opened, home owners are painting, roofing, gardening, putting on additions to their homes.  Yes – Pride of ownership, proud to be part of Westport.

This week I noticed changes to signs.  Although perhaps not as “grand” as some of the other changes people are making at their businesses or homes, they are just as important.  Business signs are what visitors and tourists notice right away, while forming their thoughts about our Village.  There are many other stunning and professional signs in the Village, and I hope you agree that these two help to show what makes Westport such a visually rich place in which to live, work and visit.

The first is a new sign at St Edward Catholic School and Church on Bedford St.  Its installation was finished last week.  Clean lines, professionally finished.

The second sign I want to share with you is at the Dancing Moon Gallery and TEA ROOM at the corner of Spring and Church Sts.  Just like the gallery owners, this sign is creative and delivers a very clear message of what you will find inside.

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

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!!!
