Village Newsletter - Fall 2025
- Published: November 27 2025 17:00
Coming to your mailbox this week: the second issue of the Chester Village Commission's new quarterly Newsletter.
The Newsletter is a colourful way to tell you about our latest community activities. We'd also like to start better introducing you to your elected representatives on the Village Commission, starting with our Chair, Geraldine Pauley.
Now that Fall has come and the Lido Pool, public washroom, and Visitor Information Centre have closed and the flower baskets have been swapped for wreaths... we focus on other services like school crossing guards, streetlights for the shorter hours of daylight, and pest control. We can also continue to enjoy events the Commission has sponsored like this weekend's Chester Village Christmas!
