As we reflect over the last year and what we have endured as a city, a community, and as a country, we should all be reminded how fortunate we are to be part of such a strong community that supports each other. It is power of community that will get us through this to better times.
The well-being and safety of our community has always been and remains our top priority here at City Hall. As we closely monitor the evolving impacts of COVID-19, we will continue to ensure the health and safety of City staff, while also maintaining the highest level of service to the public.
