Jan. 27th is Holocaust Remembrance Day - paying tribute to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and reaffirming our commitment to counter antisemitism, ra...cism, and other forms of intolerance that may lead to group-targeted violence. "It would be a dangerous error to think of the Holocaust as simply the result of the insanity of a group of criminal Nazis. On the contrary, the Holocaust was the culmination of millennia of hatred, scapegoating and discrimination targeting the Jews, what we now call anti-Semitism". UN Secretary-General António Guterres #holocaust-remembrance-day, #WeRemember See more

Although masks are mandatory in commercial establishments beginning tomorrow (July 10), we ask that residents and businesses understand that there may be many r...easons why some people are unable to wear a mask or face covering. We encourage businesses, and everyone, to do their part to work with clients/patrons and not deny service. We recognize that we are all doing our best to help flatten the curve and prevent the spread of COVID-19. We urge everyone to practise kindness and patience with one another, and to continue to work together.
