Councillor’s Corner by Councillor Michael Graham Port Stanley’s “200 Trees for 200 Years” Nears Milestone as Students Return to Help Complete First Stage Port Stanley is buzzing with anticipation as the community prepares to complete the first stage of plantings in the ambitious “200 Trees for 200 Years” project. Initiated to commemorate the Village’s bicentennial, the project aims to plant the remaining trees from the 200 trees previously approved by council, at the Berm to celebrate Port Stanley’s history and invest in its future. With students now back in school, excitement is growing. The Kettle Creek Public School was instrumental in launching the initiative, with students helping to plant the first trees and learning hands-on about environmental stewardship. Their
return marks a pivotal moment, as they will once again help lead the effort to complete the next wave of plantings. “The kids really drove this from the start,” said one local organizer. “It’s not just about trees — it’s about legacy, learning, and love for this community.” Thanks to a grant from Trees Canada, the funding is in place — but there’s an urgency to act. The grant must be fully used by October 31, 2025, putting pressure on staff and coordinators to finish planting the remaining trees in the next few weeks. Fortunately, the soil is prepped and ready for delivery to the Berm, thanks to a summer of behind-the-scenes work by volunteers. As the next phase begins, the project continues to bring people of all ages together, reminding the village that while trees grow slowly, community spirit can flourish in an instant.
