Global company makes a local impact on Lake Scugog waterfront Once in a while an idea comes along that seems so good it demands recognition. That idea comes out of Neilsen Co. Ltd., a worldwide global information and measurement company. They set aside June 13 or 14 of every year as their Global Impact Day and every em- ployee around the world works instead of in their home community on some deserv- ing project planned in advance. Since there are so many proj- ects that just need a few volunteer hours to make them “fly,” this is a great corporate program. Scugog Township and the Scugog Lake Stewards were beneficiaries of this program when nine employees (including two vice presidents) of the company, came to Port Perry to help improve our lakeshore. The Lake Stewards suggested two projects that really needed to be done. Therefore, one group chose to add new surfacing mate- rial to the walking trail south of Palmer Park Beach to eliminate puddle areas and make it more wheelchair/ stroller friendly. A sec- ond group cleaned the water edge; filling three large bags with debris. Since this motivated group came with their own company insurance covering their volunteerism, there was no problem using their efforts on municipal land. The Lake Stewards thank the Township of Scugog for provid- ing the limestone fines for the pathways and also Tim Legere and Fred Collins of the Parks Depart- ment for their friendly and courte- ous help. Especially, however, our big- gest thanks goes to all the folks from A. C. Nielsen. Good work! We hope to see you in Port Perry often. Barbara Karthein resident, Scugog Lake Stewards Inc.
