Now that the holiday season is here, it gives us time to reflect on the year we have had and look forward to the coming year
Christmas means different things to all of us but carries a common theme- it is a time for joy, togetherness and giving thanks.
It gives us a chance to celebrate the love we share with family and friends and remember those who may be less fortunate.
I am continually inspired by the kindness and generosity of our residents who have come together to support one another in good times and bad. Whether through volunteering, donating to charities or checking in on a neighbour or friend, these small acts of kindness make a significant difference in our lives.
It has been a pleasure to see the amazing support for our community events that help kick off the holiday season.
In closing, on behalf of my family, Council and staff, I wish each and every one of you a safe and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year. Let this holiday season be a reminder that there is hope in whatever challenges life brings us.
