I am so grateful to live in a community of caring and supportive people. Over the past several weeks, Cheryl Dolan has been distributing gorgeous . . .

bouquets of her own home-grown flowers to folks in our village. The recipients have been people who deserve recognition, or who have been celebrating milestone occasions, or who just need a little cheering up. What a thoughtful initiative Cheryl. Our community is a great place to live because of people like you.

Birthday wishes are going out to Sydney McMurray on June 2 and to Peggy Fraser and Jen Bell on June 3. Happy 20th birthday to Rebecca Nugent as she celebrates on June 4. Birthday wishes are also going out to Carl Demell on June 7 and to my little cousin Brody Platt on June 8. Best wishes to all celebrating this week.

We have made it to June. Things are getting brighter as the warmer weather approaches, our province is now gradually re-opening, and I have real hope that the better days are now upon us. I hope everyone is staying safe, being cautious, but also enjoying a bit more freedom and normalcy. Happy June.
