Public works recognition – The County of Wellington was the winner of the Canadian Public Works Association’s (CPWA) 2021 National Public Works Week (NPWW) Award. Wellington’s 2021 National Public Works Week celebration competed for the award with other Canadian municipalities with populations over 100,000.
County staff were recognized for livestreaming the unveiling of a commemorative plaque and unique gateway sculpture feature at the newly constructed Badley Bridge in Elora and development of several videos highlighting the NPWW theme, “Stronger Together,” as well as a short video montage of various public works activities.
The award was presented by Enrico Stradiotto, president of the CPWA Ontario chapter, during Wellington County council’s Oct. 28 meeting.
