Witless Bay council during this month’s public meeting held on May 14, approved a request for a memorial plaque at Upper Pond honouring the late Mike Cahill, who died this April.
Cahill was a founding member of Witless Bay town council and served a second term from 2005-2009. He was also a founding member of the local Kinsmen Club and helped establish the Harbour Authority, in addition to running his commercial refrigeration business, Cabot Refrigeration, and aiding other community groups.
Carey noted that council had applied for funding to beautify the Lower Pond area, which may be used to cover the cost of the memorial plaque.
Looking over across town, council also approved a concept design for the Lower Pond tourist lookout and gave Mills & Wright the greenlight to prepare and issue the tender package for the project.
Council appointed Mills & Wright as prime consultant on the Lower Pond tourist lookout project back in April at a cost of $17,150 plus HST.
