Councillor’s Corner by Michelle Graham The Village People, purveyors of fun (as we like to call ourselves), have been bringing energy, creativity, and community spirit to life through a series of exciting events that continue to draw residents and visitors into Port’s downtown during the ‘shoulder months’ when our businesses need the support. The Village People’s wildly successful Harvest Hunt in October transformed the town into a fall playground, with everyone exploring local businesses, solving clues, and celebrating the beauty of the autumn season. In December, the Reindeer Roundup carried that momentum into the holidays, delighting participants with cheerful activities, fun for kids -- and some hilarious costumes, and dancing in the shops. In April, the Murder Mystery invited participants to step into a world of intrigue and suspense. Local business owners became part of

the storyline, and detectives eagerly followed clues to unravel the mystery, making it a memorable and fun experience for all involved. Looking ahead, The Village People have even more ambitious plans. A town-wide business lighting initiative will brighten the streets and highlight local shops in a visually stunning way. An upcoming Art in the Park event will celebrate creativity, featuring local artists and interactive experiences for all ages. In the fall, an Amazing Race-style event promises adventure, teamwork, and fun challenges throughout the community and a planned Indigenous mural, which will commemorate the on October 10, 1840 landing of the Oneida peoples. This project reflects a commitment not only to celebration, but also to honouring history and fostering deeper community understanding. Thank you to all of our volunteers and participants for making these events successful and supporting our local shops.
