Mayor Wade Mills and Deputy Mayor Steve Anderson present prize to Julian Samuels, winner of Deck the Door contest.


The Town of Shelburne has crowned a winner in their contest to find the town’s best decked-out door for Christmas.

The Deck the Door contest was launched late last month, to bring a little joy and fun to an otherwise non-typical Christmas season.

The winner is Julian Samuels who won a $100 gift certificate from a local registered business of her choice – which was the African Caribbean Grocery Store.

Mayor Wade Mills and Deputy Mayor Steve Anderson presented Mrs. Samuels with her prize on Monday.

The Dufferin County Canadian Black Association was founded on June 3, 2020 by Shelburne resident Alethia O’Hara Stephenson. The impetus for the creation of the Association followed after many discussions with community members, political leaders and stakeholders about the growing Black population in Dufferin County (Blacks including those of African decedent and individuals from the Caribbean and Latin diaspora) and the need to provide a voice, advocacy, a safe space along with educational programs, support services, community outreach and scholarship opportunities benefiting families and businesses within Dufferin County.
