Two awards were handed out at the Feb. 18 Council meeting to mark Ontario Heritage Week.
Ann Crichton-Harris and Lyn MacMillan received the Ontario Heritage Trust’s Heritage Community Recognition award for their work in advocating for the preservation of the Carrville Post Office which was built around 1845 at 1050 Rutherford Rd. The owners of the building, the Remington Group Inc., relocated and converted the building for office/commercial use in a new development along Rutherford Road.
