Mayors Comments

I would like to extend my thanks to town staff who set up another great event for Breakfast with Santa and all the vendors that had their items on display, it was welcomed by many. As well, for the 2 days of orientation, I received positive feedback from many members of council.

Thanks to staff who did a great job at our annual Christmas and Retiree Dinner at Macedonian Hall on Saturday, November 8, 2018 to celebrate our 2018 retirees: Brian Geary, Carol Higgins, Brenda Andreatta, Christine Riley, Gilbert Foster, and Mike Mayea. It was a great evening.

I had a chance to visit with Olinda Mascarin and celebrated her 109^th birthday at Seasons Royal Oak Village with staff and her daughter Claudia. Mrs. Mascarin really lit up when I presented her with the sweets Dawn picked up to commemorate this special day.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone as this is our final meeting for 2018.
