Township sets days off for its staff

Centre Well­ington Township employees will celebrate two holidays on the days which they fall this year.

 

Council voted on Monday that staff will take off on July 1 and Nov. 11.

Canada Day (also celebrated as Dominion Day in Elora) falls on a Thursday. Remembrance Day is also on a Thursday.

The township will also close its administration offices over Christmas. They will close on December 27, a Monday, until Jan. 4, a Tuesday.

When the vote was called, council was unanimous on the July 1 and Nov. 11 holidays. Councillors Walt Visser and Bob Foster opposed the Christ­mas shut down.

Councillor Kirk McElwain was absent.

Since amalgamation, council has every year shut down the township offices over Christmas, allowing staff time off if they use their holidays.
