2023 GMCG Watershed Celebration a glowing success!

Greetings GMCG Friends,

We want to thank all those who joined us Tuesday evening for our 2023 Watershed Celebration! It was wonderful to see the support our community has for the work we do, and to gather as a group in honoring the volunteers responsible for so much of our success.

We extend congratulations and gratitude to the members of the Tamworth Groundwater Protection Committee, recipients of this year’s High Watch Award for exemplary volunteer service and the role they played in both crafting and passing Tamworth’s first Groundwater Protection Ordinance.
