The Recreation Department has some rather sad news to share in this week’s column.
Recreation Director Bill Schurman will be leaving us at the end of the month to return home to Prince Edward Island to be with his family.
Throughout his years with our department and the Town of Amherst, Bill’s presence has certainly made a profound and positive impact on our community. He has accomplished a lot and made great strides in helping improve the culture within Amherst and helping us to #seewhyweloveit.
Rec Department planning some great summer events
It seems the warm weather has finally found us, and as you can see our greenery is back – hooray for that!
Warm weather doesn’t only bring out the greenery though, it also brings out our Summer Student Leaders!
The Amherst Recreation Department is busy working with community organizations to bring some great events for the whole family to enjoy this summer.
