Tay Township has lowered its flags to honour the life of Lana Wells-Garrett, who passed away on June 9, 2024. Mrs. Wells-Garrett was the librarian at the Port McNicoll Library from its’ inception in the 1970’s, before transitioning into her role as Chief Librarian of the Tay Township Public Library until her retirement in 2002. Mrs. Wells-Garrett was instrumental in the establishment of the original J.G. Young Library in 1983 and the subsequent 1996 expansion, tirelessly working and fundraising alongside benefactors, “Jack” and Marjorie Young, Council and residents of Port McNicoll. Mrs. Wells-Garrett will also be remembered as a hard-working champion of the Marjorie Young Volunteer Association. On behalf of Mayor Walker, Council, Staff and all Tay Residents we extend our condolences to the entire family. Township flags have been lowered in tribute to Mrs. Wells-Garrett’s service and dedication to the entire Tay Township community.
