A note from the CouncillorHello residents of Ward 13
As we draw nearer to the holiday season this November and reflect on the things and warmth we enjoy, it’s crucial to remember that not everyone in our community can share in the same sense of abundance. This month presents a good opportunity to give back and offer support to those who might be struggling. I invite each of you to consider ways in which you can lend a helping hand to our neighbors in need. Whether it’s volunteering your time, donating to a local charity, or simply sharing a meal with someone who could use the company, every act of kindness counts. Let’s use this time to reflect on our privileges and pay it forward to others.
Regards,
David Ferreira
Councillor Ward 13, London Ontario
