Sarnia-Lambton Arbor Week Committee Donates Trees to Petrolia in Honour of the Sesquicentennial!
Petrolia, ON – The Sarnia-Lambton Arbor Week Committee has chosen Petrolia as the recipient of several new trees this fall in recognition of the community celebrating 150 years of incorporation.
The trees, donated and planted by the Committee and Enbridge, are located south of the new soccer fields at the YMCA and were planted by committee members John DeGroot, Sharon Nethercott, Brenda Lorenz, along with Robin Ellwood and Enbridge volunteers. Mayor R. Brad Loosley was in attendance to celebrate the generous gift and to say a few words of thanks.
Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities, Julie Bullock said, “Trees and green spaces are vital to communities as they provide shade and animal habitats, they contribute to beautification and are essential to life. We are very grateful for the generosity of the Sarnia-Lambton Arbor Week Committee and Enbridge for this gift to our community.”
The Town of Petrolia has been celebrating all year long with monthly events, and a few large-scale celebrations. The events continue through January 1, 2025, and details can be found at www.petrolia150.com.
The Council of the Town of Petrolia approved a Pilot Program at a special meeting of council on Monday, July 29, that will see residents able to purchase reduced price swim passes. The Pilot Program that starts September 1, 2024, and runs through August 31, 2025, will see the following prices in place for residents:
| AGE/GROUP | NUMBER OF PASSES | PRICE |
| Child Pass (0-12) no HST | 10 | $70 ($7 per visit) |
| Individual Pass | 10 | $110 ($11 per visit) |
| Senior (55+) Pass | 10 | $100 ($10 per visit) |
| Household Pass | 10 | $225 ($22.50 per visit) |
The Pilot Program was added following resident feedback about the price of swimming and swimming lesson availability at the Petrolia YMCA. The Pilot will be assessed quarterly throughout the year.
To purchase the swim passes, residents can do so in person at the Petrolia Municipal Office starting September 3, 2024, and then between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. for the remainder of the Pilot. Passes can also be purchased online by visiting https://town.petrolia.on.ca/residents/ymca/ starting September 1, 2024. The receipt is then shown at the Petrolia YMCA in exchange for the pass.
The passes are only redeemable at the Petrolia YMCA and are only available for purchase by Petrolia residents. Passes can be used for open swim, aquatics classes and lane swim, but cannot be used for swimming lessons. In addition to the Pilot Program for swim passes, the Petrolia YMCA will offer swimming lessons for non-members starting in the fall of 2024. Once Y Everything members have had the opportunity to register, non-members will be able to register for both group and private lessons at a later date. Group lessons will be $16.50 per lesson; private lesson pricing is coming soon. This is not part of the Pilot Program; it will become part of the regular Petrolia YMCA operations.
