Volunteers Needed! If you want to be a part of the

beautification of the Village, we

would love your help. Many voices at the Winter General meeting

expressed how they want the

Village of Bawlf to be improved.

This is a project that involves residents as well.

Public Works has a full schedule keeping up with

regular mowing and maintenance. Volunteers are

needed for projects such as Adopt-a-Pot and

special event days.

Maintaining properties also goes a long way

towards showing pride in our Village.

Remember we are celebrating

Canada’s 150th Birthday!!!

Water Outages

Phone Fan Out

With the age of the Village waterlines, the

possibility of water outages due to water-

line breaks could occur at any time. This

years’ water line assessment will definitely

be a huge benefit in being proactive. In

years past there was a phone fan out

system where residents would fan out a

message from the Village regarding any

emergencies. A consent form would be

required to participate. If anyone is interest-

ed in starting this up again, please contact

the Village Office at
