The Westport Market: Summer 2022
Have you been to the Westport Market? Every Saturday from 9am – 2pm, local artisans, farmers, bakers and craftspeople gather to display and sell their latest creations. With over 35 vendors this past Saturday, it was a great time to get out and document the event. The sun was shining, the temperature just right. A perfect day to see some smiling faces. Below are some images I took of the event. As you can see, there is pretty much something for everyone. The Westport Market runs every Saturday until Labour Day weekend.
Canada Day 2022
Canada Day festivities were in full swing yesterday in Westport. Organized by the Royal Canadian Legion Upper Rideau Branch 542, with the help of many other community members and organizations in Westport, the day was chalked full of events and activities. It was exciting to see so many familiar faces out and about enjoying the day. Below are some photos from the Canada Day Breakfast where the Westport Art Council revealed the artists’ Adirondack chairs as part of their Art on the Street series. The Canada Day bike parade was also not to be missed. Kids (and parents alike) enjoyed...

Thank you Paul and Tracey for organizing another successful event. Below is a selection of images taken at...

Westporch Festival 2021
As I look out my office window today, one week ago from Westporch Fest, I can't help but acknowledge how lucky we got. The damp, drizzly rain that is blanketing the village today, could have been last Saturday, effectively killing our crack at...
Westport Pride’s Q&A Social
Is there a better way to spend an afternoon than at The Cove Inn, down by the water, listening to great music, having great conversations and celebrating love, peace and acceptance? I'd argue with anyone that there really isn't!
Westport Views : Summer 2021
The amazing views of Westport from Spy Rock at the Foley Mountain Conservation Area have never looked better than in the summer. The sky is a deep blue which can only be seen when the water is as reflective as it is during the summer months. The village is surrounded by lush green trees that perfectly...
