And just like that we have passed the half way mark of 2024…. Bring on the blooms of Spring. Time to reflect on what has passed this year thus far and all that has been achieved and look forward to planning the rest of the year.

Hope everyone is has enjoyed the incredible rains that we have had in the last couple of months and that all tanks and water saving devices are filled to the max.

A highlight was the return of the Alliance Francaise Street Music Festival which was such a great success and really showcased the beauty of Richmond Hill. It is amazing what can be achieved when there is collaboration between community and various stakeholders working together.

As the season starts turning and the days get a bit shorter and the nights a bit longer I am amazed at how the beauty of Richmond Hill reflects this, the avenues of trees where a month ago were green but now stand bare.

Loved meeting some new residents at our last community meeting. Your great ideas for upliftment of the area and community minded projects are always welcome.

What a combination this February is, a leap year and the month of love. Maybe this month is to share some of the community love. There are so many in need in the bay.

A belated congratulations to Mariska who was voted in as a Ward 5 Committee member for Environment. We are definitely seeing some improvement in service delivery, but please do not stop reporting broken lights, leaks, re-instatements that are needed etc to the SRA office.
