Township prepares to celebrate volunteers, welcome newcomers
WELLINGTON NORTH – The Township of Wellington North is making plans to celebrate volunteers and celebrate newcomers to the community this fall.
This volunteers celebration and newcomers welcome will be held on Sept. 14 between 11am and 2pm at the Mount Forest and District Sports Complex (at 850 Princess St.).
The event will include displays from community organizations, the mayor’s welcome, presentations and cake cutting starting at 11:45am with a catered lunch at noon.
“If you have recently moved to the area this is an opportunity to learn more about your community, ask questions and receive a welcome bag full of useful information and goodies. You can also grab a recycling bin if you have not already done so,” states a press release from the municipality.
This event is free, however registration is required, and can be completed through an Eventbrite link until Sept. 4 or by contacting the municipal office at 519-848-3620 ext.4242.
This celebration will fall during Welcoming Week which is an annual opportunity that brings new and longtime residents together to build stronger ties.
“It affirms the importance of welcoming and inclusive places and spaces and gives partner organizations an opportunity to connect with newcomers in the community,” the release states.
