I attended the Christmas lighting ceremony at Memorial Park.

Thank you to the Lion's Club for their continued hard work and support for the Municipality. The Park looks magical. In spite of the vandalism, they were able to replace the damaged lights and continue with the program including providing hot chocolate to the crowd.

December 2nd

I attended an SEHU "all staff day" in Kingston. There were approximately 400 staff present from the three legacy boards, now SEHU. Dr. Kieran Moore was the guest speaker. I spoke as Chair along with Dr. Oglaza, Medical Officer of Health. Dr. Oglaza and his team have co-ordinated services and programs to ensure that health services are particularly effective in the rural areas.

Tonight is our regular meeting of Marmora and Lake Council
