On March 22nd WAPVA held a surprise party to honour John Goverde, who has been President of the Association since it began in 1993. John was presented with a plaque from WAPVA by Ed Otto, Vice President of the Association and Reeve Keith Tallman from the Municipality of Highlands East gave a framed letter to John. Also present was retired OPP officer Ron Buchanan who, with Ken Wesley, were the officers that got the Association started. John was surprised and grateful, thanked everyone and went on to say that the WAPVA members should be the ones honoured, because they are the backbone of the Association.
