Hello Glenbrook!
Happy February! It looks like Wiarton Willie didn't see his shadow, so perhaps we will have an early spring! The story of Wiarton Willie begins in 1957, when "a local by the name of Mac McKenzie decided that his little town of Wiarton could use some 'livening up' in the bleak months of winter. He sent out invitations to all of his city friends, welcoming them to a Groundhog Day celebration in his hometown"
I can honestly say that every time I've been to Wiarton (which has been many), I have never once seen Willie! Maybe one day 😄
Have a great week,
Andrea

This role is ideal for someone who is willing to contribute to the committee, share ideas, and support the work of the Board, but not have a specific portfolio to manage.
