Mayors Comments
 

Mayor Bondy passes along condolences to all those who have passed away from this virus as well as their families. It is a terrible event to not be able to have your family by your side at this time.  

Mayor Bondy states that today is a significant day, as it is International Nurses Day and we cannot thank them enough for all that they do, not just through the pandemic, but every day. As the saying goes, 'save a life once and you're a hero, save a life every day and you're a nurse'.

Mayor Bondy congratulates and thanks the Culture & Recreation staff for introducing Virtual Fitness Programs. Mayor Bondy expresses what a great idea it is, and encourages the public to take the time to register at www.lasalle.ca/register.

Last weekend was the last issue for the LaSalle Post. Mayor Bondy thanks them for the service over the years.
