I want to take this moment to wish you and your families a very Safe & Merry Christmas and all the best in 2022.

Although it has not been an easy year for anyone, the promise of brighter days is upon us. People are starting to live their lives, the economy is improving, and vaccination rates continue to escalate. As we gather around the tree, exchange gifts, sing our favourite carols and kiss our loved ones under the mistletoe, we are optimistic that better memories will be created in the coming year.

The highly transmissible omicron variant, however, is a reminder that the Covid-19 Pandemic is far from over. So please continue to wear a mask, wash your hands, practice social distancing when possible and above all, get vaccinated. Make safe and smart decisions this Holiday Season as you celebrate with family and friends.

In the meantime, be kind and respectful to one another.
