Walk right in and say hello. The doors will be open all over Westport and Rideau Lakes on Saturday, Sept. 19.

You may want to make a list and tick off the “doors” as you go. You might also want to begin right at 10 a.m. when they open, because there are lots of them.

Doors Open, part of a province-wide heritage event, will include, in this area, doors in Chaffey’s Lock, Delta, Elgin, Lombardy, Morton, Newboro, Portland, and Westport. For a more detailed list, go to www.doorsopenontario.ca and look for Rideau Lakes-Westport. Or look for a Doors Open publication at local libraries and municipal offices.

Come and see this beautiful area – from the inside. You’ll be warmly welcomed.

Transport yourself to Australia on Friday, Sept. 25. It’s easy. You only have to go to the Newboro Community Hall.
