mayor unveiled was read by Councillor Joe Hurst It outlined the founding of the town from the first land grants on the west branch of the Credit River in to the Incorporation of the town In January Mr noted that the plaque and new flower beds on the land at the corner of River and Main Streets may give the residents more pride in the area Perhaps this will give people an Incentive to look after
