Cheers to the staff at Hillcrest School for the breakfast program and all the extra efforts made in helping Hillcrest families.

 

Cheers to everyone who was involved with Run the Course on Saturday morning. It couldn’t have been easy trying to run or walk that distance in the cold and the snow.

 

Cheers to all of the stories on new businesses in the community that we’ve been seeing in the Mercury in the past few weeks. In these tough times, it’s nice to see people showing confidence in our city.

 

Cheers to those who have served on urban and rural councils, on school boards or as MLAs who decided not to seek re-election. Many people fail to realize how tough these jobs are.

 

Jeers:

 

Jeers to people that park in front of other people’s garbage bins. Then the garbage truck comes and can’t dump the bin. If a motorist drives up and saw the bin next to the curb, they shouldn’t park in front of it.

 

Jeers to those who didn’t take the time to vote in the provincial election. Given the number of polling stations available, it can’t be because of how far you’d have to travel to vote. So please don’t complain if the provincial government makes a decision you aren’t happy with.

 

Jeers to the lack of fans allowed in for hockey games on the weekend. You could hear every comment by players and coaches during the games. (And some comments you didn’t want to hear).
