Finding out about some of the successes of Puslinch residents will now be as simple as heading to the local library.
On April 20 Puslinch met with recreation committee member Daina Makinson and Puslinch library branch supervisor Neil Arsenault.
Makinson said when she started on the committee one of the first things discussed was the location of trophies formerly housed at the Puslinch recreation centre.
As a result of renovations, many of those trophies had gone back to the original owners/organizations and questions were raised whether all of the trophies were able to come back to the community centre.
Makinson offered her services to create a photo book … if someone could find the trophies and photograph them.
After a bit of investigation the trophies were located and photographed.
Makinson thanked those who assisted her in the process, especially the current trophy owners who welcomed volunteers into their homes to photograph the trophies.
Makinson also thanked the recreation committee for its input and assistance.
“Once the book was made, the question was where it was going to live,” she said, adding it was suggested the Puslinch branch of the Wellington County Library be approached.
“It is my hope that this book will be enjoyed by many people for generations to come,” she said.
Arsenault thanked those who took the time to contribute to the book.
“What better place for a book than the library,” he said. “We’re absolutely delighted to add the trophy book to our collection.
“Our plan is to catalogue it so it can be found through the online catalogue … and it will stay in Puslinch as a reference book. That way it will always be accessible for people to come in and look at.”
Arsenault added the intent is to create a display and make it easily accessible to the public.
“There will be no mystery as to where it is going to be.”
