A Message from Mayor Mayberry - July 2023
“Across the country June was "Pride" month, which is intended to celebrate the incredible diversity of all the people of our country and community. While the intent is to focus on all diversity, for some, the focus has been only on one aspect. This is unfortunate because it has been our appreciation of the very broad and historically rich diversity of all Canadians (Indigenous and Settlers) that has led us to become one of the most peaceful and prosperous societies in all of human history.
Recognizing, and then celebrating the richness of our different cultures and experiences has advanced our communal exploration and understanding of the challenges and opportunities that we have and will face as a community. Historically, embracing diversity has move societies forward whereas non acceptance has led to division and conflict. The choice is ours - let's choose diversity!"
- Mayor David Mayberry
