ByronVillage.ca: Your New Online Community Hub for Everything Byron In partnership with The Byron Villager, the new Byron commu- nity website, ByronVillage.ca, is now live as a comprehensive community hub dedicated to all things Byron. Designed to sup- port local businesses and connect residents, this platform pro- vides a resource to discover places to eat, shop, and play right here in Byron. The website’s Board of Directors, Grant Thomas, Jasmine Srnicek and Barb Botten, envision ByronVillage.ca as an online extension of the strong in-person community Byron is known for. Just as local communities thrive through shared interests and connections, online communities can help deepen those ties virtually, building a space that’s accessible to all. ByronVillage.ca serves as a standalone resource, free from the distractions and challenges that often accompany social media platforms. It offers a dedicated space where Byron’s residents and businesses can find resources to foster community engage - ment, build connections, and support one another. The site is designed to evolve with the community, providing an ongoing resource to strengthen Byron’s local ties and showcase what makes it such a unique place to live and visit. Byron Believers Cards for Seniors As Christmas draws near, the spirit of giving is in full swing, and the Byron Believers are once again inviting the community to brighten the holidays for local seniors. This initiative collects Christmas cards and letters to deliver to seniors in long-term care homes, helping to bring joy and companionship during the festive season. Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to write a letter or a note in a holiday card. There’s no need for anything elaborate; a few kind words, a personal story, or a seasonal joke can go a long way. Even a simple “Merry Christmas” can lift someone’s spirits. For families, this is a great way to get kids involved in spreading kindness—explaining to them how small gestures can make a big difference in the lives of those who may be feeling lonely during the holidays. The collection box for cards and letters is on the covered porch at 891 Griffith Street, and donations can be dropped off anytime until December 20th. So, gather your cards, get creative, and
help make this Christmas a little brighter for seniors in our community. The more cards, the merrier the season!
