As we enter the final month of the year, the spirit of the holidays is in full swing. Whether you’re busy with festive preparations, winter activities, or simply enjoying the cozy indoors, we’re looking ahead to the new year while focusing on ways we can give back and support each other. As we welcome the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what truly makes our community special. Family traditions, time with loved ones, and faith are all part of why we celebrate.
I’d like to give a heartfelt thank-you to our amazing community association volunteers, who have worked tirelessly throughout the year to make Ward 2 a welcoming place for everyone. From hosting events to creating spaces where neighbours can connect, your dedication is part of what makes our community great.
From the Ward 2 Office, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! May this season be filled with warmth, joy, and time spent with those who matter most.
Drive Safe and Prepare for Winter
With winter on its way, the season brings new challenges. Here are some winter driving tips to help you stay safe:
• Find a safe place or empty parking lot to learn how your vehicle responds to snowy, icy conditions.
• Test your brakes gently to get a feel for slippery surfaces and keep your distance from the car in front of you.
• Equip your car with essentials like tire chains and an ice scraper. A bag of sand or a floor mat can help add traction if you’re stuck on ice.
• Clear any snow from your exhaust pipe to avoid carbon monoxide issues.
• Keep a tow truck contact on hand.
• Download a rideshare or taxi app in case you need alternative transportation in an emergency or after holiday parties.
