STEPHEN LEACOCK SCHOOL Last week we heard of the closure of Stephen

Leacock School due to the amount of rain we received. At the time I contacted city
staff to investigate the issue and it was determined that there were no issues with
the citys drainage or sewer systems. The city was working with the school to help
them with any assistance they required to get the school opened as quickly as
possible.

REMEMBERANCE DAY Join me this Saturday to remember those veterans and


members of the military who have fought for our freedom in this great country of
ours. The ceremony begins at 10:45 am at the Cenotaph located on Colchester
Square just off of Teron Road. Lets show the member of the military how much we
appreciate the work they have and are still doing. This is a great ceremony to bring
children to it will help them understand the sacrifice these people have made for to
their country. On behalf of myself and my staff to all Veterans and active Military
personnel THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

ADOPT A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS As we head into the Christmas Season we


are reminded about those who might not have the financial means to be able to put
presents under the tree or even have a special Christmas dinner. The Kanata Food
Cupboard has an Adopt a Family Program for Christmas where families, businesses
and private groups provide this for a particular family. Why not set up a supporter
group for a family this Christmas? Information is available on the Kanata Food
Cupboard website www.kanatafoodcupboard.ca/.
