November is here and we’re close to Christmas, but before I start, I hope HH-BH’s ghouls, goblins, generous home owners, businesses, grannies, and grandpas enjoyed two full-moons, mid-Autumn festival events, Thanksgiving, and Halloween in this community of green, orange, red, and yellow!
In the past two months, the HH-BH Community Association (CA) Board has worked hard to close the 2019/2020 community calendar year with the audit of the CA financial records. We have also engaged our Community Playschool Committee to get ready for the new school year under constrained COVID-19 operating guidelines, which limits class sizes to 50% enrollment and restricts children to indoor activities. Notwithstanding these constraints, ‘we are all in it together’ to provide the community a great place for our children, without having to reduce teaching staff, number of classes, or class hours. To work within these limiting constraints, we are drawing on the financial capacity of the playschool and the community association, while cutting expenses. To learn more about the CA and the direction of the playschool, join us at our Annual General Meeting on Wednesday November 18.
Finally, public safety, public space, public service, and public expense weighs heavy on our minds as we make HH-BH a great community. Over the next few months, we will begin moving to the next municipal election and I ask our residents to pay attention to the issues, the future, and be prepared to ask the Mayor and Ward 7 candidates, “What will you do to ensure quality public services are delivered in a taxpayer affordable manner?”.
