Our summer so far.

The association provided security for the recent Black Fly Festival which took place on July 5th. No incidents were reported and everyone had a great time at the event, which was a great success.

WAPVA members also controlled traffic in downtown Wilberforce when the road was closed for the annual Canada Day Celebrations.

Nightly patrols by association members continue throughout Wilberforce checking businesses and residents.
