Submitted by the Pelham Beautification Committee

Lawrence Overbeek and son Calvin receive top honours in their restoration efforts of an historic building at the busy intersection of Pelham St and Highway 20.  What was once a distinguished structure, housing various shops, stores and offices since it was first built in the early 19th century, fell into hard times the last few years. The Overbeek family saw the potential in this building and worked to restore it to its original charm. The Town of Pelham benefits from the Overbeek’s labours with the enhanced visual appeal at this popular Pelham crossroads.

Pictured above are Calvin and Brianna Overbeek with children, Levi and baby Kimberly. Jen Pilzecker, Chair of the Pelham Beautification Committee is shown presenting the Thank You card. Missing from picture is Lawrence Overbeek.

The Pelham Beautification Committee is an advisory committee to Pelham Council.  The Committee seeks to foster civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement. The monthly ‘Thank You’ card program is one of the Committee’s efforts to inspire the Town’s businesses, organizations and residents to exemplify ideals defined in the Beautification Committee’s Terms of Reference, available at https://www.pelham.ca/en/town-hall/beautification-committee.aspx.

The Pelham Beautification Committee will name a recipient each month. Individuals are encouraged to submit potential recipient recommendations to the Pelham Beautification Committee at beautification@pelham.ca.

For more information, contact: Cynthia Roberts, Vice-Chair, Pelham Beautification Committee, at 289-686-5676
