Officially recognized

The Nova Scotia House Of Assembly has unanimously recognized the community of Digby for the Vaughn Vantassell Memorial Park. It was brought forward by Harold Theriault Jr. MLA to the House of Assembly "Where As on September 26, 2009, the Vaughn Vantassell Memorial Park in Digby rose from the ground with the assembling of playground equipment, gardens, shoveling and raking of sand and pea gravel and building a chain link fence by nearly 275 volunteers and where as the playground is named for and dedicated to Digby's former Fire Chief the late Vaughn Vantassell for his 40 years of commitment and dedication to the town and where as Vaughn Vantassell loved children and worked to promote a physically active lifestyle and would have been happy to be involved with the building of this playground." It appears on page 478 in Hansard, the official record of the Legislature of Nova Scotia.
