Spencer Smith park willow tree recipients Exotic Wood and 911 wood donate table to city

A collaborative effort among Exotic Woods and 911 Wood to create a beautiful willow tree wood table has been donated to the city for display.

Planks that were planed, milled and kiln dried by Arborwood Tree Service and Exotic Woods were handed out in September based on a lottery draw.

We thank both businesses for helping us keep the willow trees living in new ways.

Left to right are Adam Hordyk, Andrew Whitty, Tom Peterdy, Adam Aasman and Jeff Hordyk.

Feel free to stop by at City Hall first floor lobby to see the work in person!

This is the third creation so far from the wood from the Spencer Smith Park willows, which had to be cut down due to internal decay. There is also a piece of art displayed on the wall in Room 247, a public meeting room at City Hall, as well as several pieces created by Richard Gingras, one of the recipients of a piece of wood from the public draw.

Commenting Guidelines (click left arrow to read)

Here are guidelines before you comment, and our expectations before we will post:

Be civil. Would you speak this way to a good friend? If not, rewrite.
Focus on the issues. Build your argument and make your case in support of your opinion from facts, research or other sources. That way we can all learn. “I disagree with so-and-so because…” is fine; “So-and-so is naïve/stupid for thinking the way he/she does and here’s why…” is not acceptable.
Don’t make personal attacks. Don’t assume motives of those you disagree with, make unfounded allegations, spread rumours, or engage in any other behaviours that would discourage you from participating if someone said this to, or about, you. The Golden Rule applies: Do unto others as you would have done to you. We will edit or not post comments with this type of content.
Say it once: When comments from the same individual or individuals become repetitive, going over ground already stated, we reserve the right to close commenting.
Use your full, and real, name. If wish to make a comment in public, we expect you will publicly stand behind it with your name. If you don’t want to publicly reveal your name, that’s fine; you are always welcome to share your thoughts with me privately via my email below. I welcome and consider all feedback in making decisions for the community.
Have fun, consider and learn. Share your views and read those of others. May we all benefit from a healthy exchange of ideas, and learn a little more about the people in our community, what you think, and what’s important to each of you. You may end up changing your mind about an issue; even if you don’t, we hope everyone will gain a greater understanding of why people have different perspectives.
