Notes from the Mayor's Desk: Seasons Greetings


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 

The past year has been a busy and exciting one for all of us. We are proud of the many achievements of our volunteers, groups and organizations that are the heart and soul of our community.

We look forward to continuing to build a strong and efficient government that delivers quality services to our residents. In the New Year, we will continue to reach out to citizens, listening to your input. We will attend community events where we will share our plans for the coming year. Together, we will continue building the path to a healthier and more prosperous future for our community.

May the spirit of the season bring out the best selves in all of us.  Smile at everyone.  Let random acts of kindness be your goal every day.  Comfort those who struggle with the loss of loved ones, those who battle illness and failing health and invite the lonely into your heart with kind words of caring.  Reflect and remember those not with you this holiday season. 

Be grateful for the memories you cherish and celebrate them. Check up on your neighbors, donate to local charities, and hug each and every one in your family. Look deep into their eyes so they see your soul and tell them of your love for them.  Make a plan to make memories.  Vow to be your best self, not just for the season but every day always.

On behalf of Council, I wish you the Merriest of Christmases and the best New Year you have ever imagined

Terry Leslie,
Mayor, Town of Sundre
