Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece paid tribute to former Wellington County Warden Bill Adsett who passed away at the beginning of October.
Pettapiece told the legislature the former Eramosa Councillor, Wellington County Warden, and publisher Bill Adsett passed away on October 5th.
He called him not only a great public servant, but also a volunteer, historian, farmer, husband, and loving father.
Pettapiece called Adsett's accomplishments . dedication and decency impressive.
He added that Wellington County—and all of Ontario—is better off because of him.
“Bill accomplished many things. To his constituents, he brought water and sewer services; improvements to Wellington Place; a new Wellington Road 7 bridge over the Elora Gorge; and renewal of the Wellington County administration centre in Guelph – a project he championed from concept to completion," said Walker.
Walker added, “Bill was also a wise businessman. He founded a successful newspaper: the Wellington Advertiser. His vision—a free newspaper for everyone in Wellington County. He brought it to fruition. The Advertiser continues to serve every community in the county, proudly and independently. It goes to over 40,000 homes and businesses each week."
“Bill was an active member of the Drayton Legion, Fergus Elora Rotary Club, Guelph’s Men Club, and Trinity United Church in Guelph. His accomplishments are impressive. His dedication and decency are even more so," Walker continued.
