Well, we are certainly getting into the Christmas spirit.
It was terrific to see so many of you at the tree lighting at Muskoka Wharf on Friday, Nov. 22.
The event was a fun way to kick off our Gateway to the Holidays activities.
On behalf of council, I want to thank our staff and participants for making the evening so enjoyable.
Visit the Gateway to the Holidays page on Gravenhurst.ca to learn about other wonderful festive things happening in our community.
On Saturday, Nov. 23, we had the annual Gravenhurst Santa Claus Parade. Once again, we had a beautiful collection of floats in the parade.
I want to thank the Gravenhurst Chamber of Commerce for organizing such a spectacular event and I want to commend all the businesses and organizations for participating.
And, of course, it was fantastic to see so many smiling faces along the parade route. Generations of families turn out for the parade each year and that makes the day extra special.
Gift-giving is definitely part of the season and so I encourage you to shop locally as much as possible.
We are fortunate to have a variety of shops and restaurants in our community where you can find tremendous gift ideas.
And, if you are in a position to do so, please look for ways to support those in need this holiday season.
This is our second last e-newsletter for the year. As you'll see, it contains an array of information we hope you find useful.
