During this week, the Township of Wellington North honours the invaluable contributions of volunteers, recognizing their actions, understanding, and genuine concern for the community. Local volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, including young people, families, workers, and retirees. Their collective efforts contribute to the health and wellbeing of our community, making it a more desirable place to live.
“Volunteers are the heart of Wellington North, and we look forward to recognizing and celebrating volunteerism in our community, and also welcoming our newcomers and showing that Wellington North is a great place to live, work and raise a family,” said Mayor Andy Lennox. “We encourage you to come out and join us on May 1 at the Arthur and Area Community Centre.”
