The holidays can be a special time of year. Many of us take the opportunity to celebrate cherished traditions, enjoy great food, and gather with family and friends.
Last week, I hosted my second annual Mayor’s Tree Lighting Ceremony at Tom Davies Square, with performances from Black Bull Moose Singers and Nickel City Sound – and complimentary cookies and hot chocolate to stay warm while enjoying the outdoor festivities!
Of course, decorating a tree is just one way to celebrate; across our city, Greater Sudbury residents observe and celebrate the holiday season in many different forms.
The holidays can also be a hard time for people. Some may not be spending the holidays with loved ones or have recently lost a loved one. Some might be finding it hard financially, and some may be hard at work serving the community on the frontlines.
So, let’s remember to be compassionate and kind to one another. We can all spread holiday spirit and cheer. No matter how you celebrate, may you have a season of joy and peace.
The holidays are also a time to reflect on the past year and recognize those who have made positive contributions to our lives. I would like to sincerely thank all City staff for your tireless efforts and dedication to making our community the best place to live, work, and play.
Mayor Paul Lefebvre
