We are reminded that although 2020 has delivered more than everyone’s share of uncomfortable weirdness, there is much to be thankful for. We live in a free country. We will soon be exercising our democratic rights in both municipal and provincial elections free from bribery and election tampering. We have worked together to keep our community as healthy as possible in six months of the pandemic. We have healthy running water, plentiful food and some nice weather to enjoy. Be thankful.
If you are travelling this weekend, remember to keep your groups small and travel safely to and from your destination. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
Community churches are offering in-house worship services with distancing and other pandemic protocols in place. Please check with the church of your choice before attending, so you are aware of what you may need or may need to do. Some churches are also still offering online services.

The food bank says that thanks to generous monetary donations in the spring they have been able to keep their shelves filled. However, with schools not permitted to operate their usual food bank drives, there will be an impact on inventory. Keep the local food bank in mind when purchasing groceries.
Here’s hoping this finds you all safe, healthy and socially distanced. Until next week ...
