Three local businesses and a major Canadian labour union are the latest groups to step up to the plate with $10,000 each for the Lamont Sports Park Illuminating Dreams Fundraising Campaign
The four Home Run hitters are:
- Ackert Construction
- Carson Supply
- Harvey’s Swiss Chalet Port Elgin, and
- Unifor
“I continue to be pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of support”, said Vice Deputy Mayor and Committee Co-Chair Mike Myatt. “As a committee, we are doing everything we can to get Phase 2 built, and our community is certainly playing a big role in making it a reality.”
These four donations move us another step closer to achieving our fundraising goals”, said Co-Chair Rob Stanley. “As we shift our focus to the campaign’s public phase, I am confident our residents will help us close it out with the momentum set by the generous donations of local organizations.”
When asked about their donation, Ackert Construction replied, “We are extremely grateful to be part of a wonderful growing community.”
Last week, the Town’s Committee of the Whole approved a staff recommendation for hiring a Prime Consultant to oversee the construction of Phase 2. This includes two youth baseball diamonds, and an accessible playground. The new construction will add to the four baseball diamonds built in Phase 1.
This Saturday June 4th from Noon to 4 p.m., the public is invited for their first viewing of the park, to celebrate the completion of Phase 1 and to help launch the public fundraising campaign.
