Two municipalities in Shelburne County recently honoured a number of volunteers.
The Municipality of Barrington and the Town of Clark’s Harbour recognized 25 volunteers at the Clark’s Harbour Legion last Thursday.
Dave Cleaver of Clark’s Harbour and Helen Leary of Barrington, who were the provincial volunteers representatives were in attendance.
Anna Kenney, Recreation Director in Barrington says it’s amazing to see what people can do in their communities.
“If there wasn’t a Helen helping out with stick curling, or David Cleaver when you need a Santa, there are such a wide range of activities that folks do.”
She says they host the banquet to give thanks and appreciation to all those that volunteer.
Todd Newell, who started the ‘Live Well Challenge’ earlier this year was also recognized, as the initiative raised over $900,000 for many different charities.
