The Town of Bracebridge is celebrating the team that keeps the community moving during National Public Works Week (NPWW) from May 21 to 27. The Town’s public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities and services that are of vital importance and contribute to Bracebridge’s vibrancy, health, and well-being.
The theme of NPWW this year is “Connecting the World through Public Works” and highlights the way public works professionals connect us physically through infrastructure, and inspirationally through service to communities, whether as first responders in the event of an emergency or through daily tasks. Every public works professional strives to improve the quality of life for the community they serve, leading to healthier and happier communities. The Town’s Public Works team is comprised of dedicated team members that provide critical and essential work including construction and maintenance to keep sidewalks, roads and bridges safe, snow removal, facility maintenance, parks and trails, and more.

“This National Public Works Week, I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to learn about the vital role our Public Works teams plays in keeping our town moving. Our valuable team members not only maintain road infrastructure, sidewalks and facilities, but are often the first ones responding when faced with an emergency and severe weather impacts. This NPWW take the time to recognize these dedicated individuals for all they do for the community.”
