Welcome to November! Time to chat about the festive season landing on our doorstep.
Many of our champion volunteer-based societies and groups have already been deep into creating events that are Christmastime. Without these tireless, dedicated volunteers, our calendars would be empty, void of wonderful activities and events. Think about those faces you see time and time again at so many harbour happenings. On behalf of our community thank you to all of you. You are so appreciated.
