Wellington North and the Local Arthur Lions Club have been humbled by a recent donation to their Skatepark Fundraising Campaign.
An anonymous donor dropped off a $100,000 cheque towards the campaign on September 1st which has caused both the Township and the Lions Club to re-envision what they have planned for the space.
The news was delivered at this past Monday’s Wellington North Council meeting.
Fundraising for the skate park in Arthur began in 2019.
The initial goal was collecting up to a $250,000 by next year.
Donations had only totaled $90,000 at the end of the summer this year when the generous donation arrived.
Future steps are now being decided with a future meeting between the Lions and Wellington North.
