People and their pets are out enjoying a stroll along the awesome paved trails throughout the park, again thanks to a generous do- nation from Middlesex Paving & Maintenance. Others are stopping for a moment at Ethan’s Garden. This all-na- tive plant garden was created in Ethan’s honour by his parents and it has now grown to become a memorial place for others we have lost from our community. Youth are popping into the Komoka Youth Centre located inside the Komoka Community Centre. It is open to youth ages 9 to 17 and is operated in partnership with the Middlesex Centre YMCA on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. I hope your youth have had a chance to visit. The Komoka Youth Centre is near and dear to me, something I am proud to have advocated for. Saturday mornings find the ball team at Westbrook Park for prac- tice. Again, there is the busy ball diamond, soccer pitch, play- ground, pickleball and tennis court and splash pad. I am truly proud of and grateful for these amazing outdoor spaces. I hope you, too, will pause to take in all we have in our Ward 4 Komoka Kilworth community and in the Municipality of Middlesex Center as a whole. As always, feel free to reach out to me with your questions and other municipal concerns. Now, more than ever, I thank you for supporting local.
Happy Summer Ward 4 Komoka Kilworth, I hope you are enjoying all that sum- mer brings. I wanted to take the opportunity to talk personally and express my pride in some of what we have in our awesome community. Have you sat back and no- ticed lately? My six-year-old grandson is now in his first year of DKMB RiverCats Baseball, so that means this proud grandma is usually at the ball diamond at Komoka Park to watch. As I sit there, I can’t help but look around

and take note of everything going on at the park. Children are enjoying our new playground, recently replaced by the municipality and enhanced with additional elements thanks to a $60,000 donation from the Komoka Kilworth Op- timists. I imagine this visit as an after-supper, before-bedtime activity for many. Families with strollers, bikes and wagons are gathering under the pavilion while kids laugh and play. Every ball diamond and soccer pitch is full of youth of various ages. The tennis and pickleball courts are busy, as is the new and improved basketball court, made possible thanks to a gener- ous donation from Middlesex Paving & Maintenance in part- nership with LiUNA 1059.
