Waterfront Workshop August 26th

On August 26th a very productive workshop was held.  The ideas brought forward will be displayed in the near future. 

The next step is for Ekistics Planning & Design to take information from this workshop and prepare a context report which will include various items and report back to the Waterfront Steering Committee.

On November 18th from 6:30 – 8:30pm in the Multi-Purpose Room at the Community Centre another public workshop will be held to present the draft waterfront plan.

It is still important to complete the on-line survey click here. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Port-Williams-Waterfront

We will also have copies available at the Village Office and various other places in the Village for you to complete.

Lions Donation to Park Pavilion

To commemorate their 40th Anniversary, the Port Williams & District Lions Club contributed $10,000 plus over 100 hours of volunteer labour toward the construction of a park pavilion in the new Port Williams Community Park.

The park pavilion will not only be a gathering spot for families who use the Park but also, for a variety of other community activities such as picnics, farm markets, open air concerts and other special events.

Over its forty year history, the Port Williams & District Lions Club has played a pivotal role in many significant projects in Port Williams such as the expansion of the Community Centre, staging the Port Williams Ox Pulls and Fairs, development of an outdoor skating rink and tennis court, maintaining a community picnic park, supporting youth development, participation in the annual Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival and the driving force behind the current Port Williams Celebration Days. It is therefore fitting that the Lions Club have partnered in yet another project which will have lasting benefit for residents of the Village and its visitors.

APPLE BLOSSOM 2010

The 2010 Apple Blossom was a very successful event again this year and we are pleased to have Laura Houghton and her child attendant Maggie Fuller as our representatives.

During the summer, our Princess will ride on the Port Williams float at various events and parades up and down the valley, so keep your eye out and give them a wave.

Each year the float is designed and built by our Lions Club and this year the float took the honour of placing second, which adds to this special 40th anniversary of the Port Williams and District Lions Club.
