The Beautification Committee has enjoyed a busy four years. As an advisory committee to Council, we worked with Town staff on a number of beautification initiatives.

This committee’s well-known ‘thank you’ initiative was introduced early in the Committee’s term with the intention to inspire Town businesses, organizations and residents to beautify their homes, places of work and the community at large. We hoped our recognition would help inspire others to step up their beautification efforts, as well as serve to showcase Pelham as a beautiful place to visit, live, work and play.

A number of recipients have been recognized for their attractive front yard gardens, restoring historical buildings, cleaning up parks, trails and ponds as well as unique farming initiatives. Each endeavour goes a long way to making Pelham a beautiful and unique place to live. It’s evident the people of our town genuinely care about their neighbourhoods and their community.

As our last act as a Committee, if you are a resident, business or organization in Pelham who does their part to beautify our town, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your efforts.

It’s been an honour and privilege to serve with the other dedicated members of the Beautification Committee including; Cathy Robins, Frances Kuypers, Lois LaCroix, and Vilma Moretti.
