PICTON – Some of Prince Edward County’ s recreation committees welcomed new members at Tuesday’s council meeting.
Each township has a recreation committee made up of a group of volunteers who organize and plan community events on a regular basis. Council accepted the resignation of Kathleen Fillmore as a voting member of the Hillier committee as well as Renay Weismann-Stanner and Garry Lewis as voting members of the Sophiasburgh committee. Fillmore later became a new voting member of the Picton committee.
Council eliminated another voting member seat belonging on the Sophiasburgh committee because the member was absent from meetings three times in a row.
Council appointed new members Peggy Rainville, Jim Rose and Jo-anne Rose to the Sophiasburgh committee.
Towards the end of the meeting council also decided to move forward with a proposal for new affordable housing at 230 Niles St. in Wellington across from CML Snider public school. This is also the location where the former Wellington Dukes [3] arena used to be.
Here is the location of the proposed housing below.
