Sharing a Wellington North Cultural Moment has been a standard item on the Council meeting agenda for the Township of Wellington North for many years. These Cultural Moments have been written by members of the Wellington North Cultural Roundtable and are included in the council agenda package and read by the Mayor at the end of the council meeting, or a video played highlighting the moment.
Over the years these cultural moments have covered a variety of cultural related topics, events, and activities.
