Mayor Ivor’s Christmas Message

On behalf of the Village of Longview Council, administration and staff, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the compliments of the Xmas season and best wishes for good health and much happiness in 2012.
At this time of year our thoughts turn to those in our village who have lost loved ones during the current year. It was heart warming to see the community rally around these families in their time of need. The support displayed to others in Longview who required assistance throughout the year was greatly appreciated.
2011 was an extremely busy year in our village with numerous projects undertaken, many of those being implemented by our tremendous volunteer base from both within Longview and those in the surrounding area. We are blessed with a wealth of wonderful volunteers and to all of you we extend our deepest appreciation for all your hard work and dedication to move the Village of Longview ahead as a sustainable municipality. Initiatives including the skating rink upgrades, a new Children's playground and the first phase of the Memorial Gardens were all completed this year.
Volunteers provided a wonderful feast at our annual Xmas party and Santa brought many smiles to the faces of the children in attendance.
We are also thankful for other volunteer groups who are planning our Party at the Rink celebration to be held on 23rd December 2011.
So in closing please enjoy this special time of year with friends and family while sparing a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and remembering those in the world who are not as fortunate as we are to live in this part of Canada.

Best wishes, Ivor McCorquindale Mayor The Village of Longview.
