Dear Friends
I hope you are well and rejuvenated after the holiday season. As we settle into the new year, I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a belated but nonetheless heartfelt Happy New Year. I hope your holidays were filled with joy and warmth.
As we step forward into January, we also enter a crucial period for our community – the budget season. Council is now faced with the challenging yet essential task of deciding which parts of our strategic plan will be prioritized for funding. This process is critical for shaping the future of our community.
Let’s approach the year ahead with optimism and a collective spirit to make it a successful and fulfilling one.

The proposed works are sensitive to the cultural heritage value of the bridge, while extending the functional service life of the bridge by 50 years.
This project includes the following improvements:
The upcoming Multi-Year Budget deliberations include a business case for The Core Area Activations (Business Case #P-44 – Core Area Initiatives), which if funded would resume the creation of the events listing.
2024-2027 MYB Budget is set for ratification on March 5th 2024.
