Town of Stratford: March 23, 2012
The Town of Stratford is celebrating World Water Week, March 19 to 23, with the announcement of capital funding for improvement of the Pondside Park and Moore’s Pond watershed system.
Mayor David Dunphy said “Stratford Town Council has dedicated $7,000 as the first installment in a fund to be used for dredging. The Pondside Park and Moore’s Pond system run through the centre of our community and will serve as a showcase of our community efforts to improve our natural heritage. “ Stratford has also created and delivers a ‘Water School Program’ for Grade Five students at Stratford Elementary, an animated course on water conservation. Mayor Dunphy noted that the Town’s Utility is in the process of developing a water conservation program to encourage residents and businesses in the Town to use water wisely. The program will be rolled out over the coming months.
Volunteers with the local watershed group have planted hundreds of trees and shrubs over the past three years in this watershed and have set a goal of dredging the existing ponds of silt built up over past years. Paul MacCormack, president of the local watershed group said “We are pleased to hear this news from the town; our group has invested time and effort to develop plans for this area as a result of concern expressed at public meetings.” Other partners who have contributed to the Town of Stratford to support education and material costs for this project include the Royal Bank Bluewater Fund and the TD Evergreen Fund as well as the PEI Dept. of Environment and Environment Canada.
