As the Christmas and holiday season begins, I am reminded of how fortunate we are to live in Canada a country where our rights, freedoms, voices, and traditions are protected and to be part of a generous, compassionate, and deeply connected community.
As we reach the end of 2025, I want to to wish everyone in Milton a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This Christmas let’s take time to pause, reflect, and appreciate our family, friends and the community around us. This year has had its challenges, and many of us have felt divisiveness or uncertainty. My hope is that 2026 brings a
renewed sense of optimism, compassion, and connection for all of us.
