&/#3&'r#3*&'4 AUDIT SURPLUS The pandemic has resulted in a large potential budget surplus for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). Trustees reviewed and approved the 2019-2020 draft audited financial statements during their November 11 session. The report noted lower-than- planned expenses for the 2019-2020 school year due to school closures because of the pandemic. This resulted in a potential $6.9 million surplus that will help the UCDSB deal with any financial issues during the 2020-2021 year. – Gregg Chamberlain FLOODPLAIN STUDY The United Counties of Prescott-Russell will look at allocating $50,000 in its 2021 budget to purchase technical information to help with a funding application, in partnership with Eastern Ontario Conservation, to the National Disaster Mitigation Program. The appli- cation is for floodplain studies. Past stu- dies have benefited Clarence-Rockland, Russell Township, and The Nation Municipality. – Gregg Chamberlain WEBCAMS FOR COUNCIL Hawkesbury council approved a recom- mendation to purchase a number of webcams for use by council for council sessions during the pandemic and for use in future when in-person sessions resume and some council members or staff are unable to attend for various reasons. – Gregg Chamberlain

Eastern Ontario has returned to yel- low “protect” status on the province’s COVID-19 chart, after just one week in the more severe orange “restrict” category. The change, which was announced on Friday and came into effect just after mid- night on Monday, did not alter recommended safety precautions for individuals, but eased some business restrictions. Last calls at bars and restaurants moved from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and six people were allowed to be seated instead of four. Capacity limits for some businesses and fitness centres were relaxed, while personal care services that required the removal of masks would be allowed to return if contact information was kept and a safety plan was prepared.

a letter to Santa, it’s getting together and taking that five or 10 minutes,” he said. “Because so many people are at home, and so many businesses and other activities are closed or limited, it’s a way to get everyone’s minds off what’s happening in the world.” Emberg said he had originally written the song more explicitly about the town, but had tweaked some of the lyrics to more broadly appeal to Canadians at Christmas. He said the spirit of the song stemmed from his experiences with friends and family in the town he calls home. “It’s pretty well a Canadian Christmas song but it’s based in Vankleek Hill, on eve- rything I’ve done with my family and friends,” he said. “But you could probably find the same themes if you’re listening in many other towns across Canada.

Those community videos would be compiled into a music video for the song. Emberg said he hoped filming the videos or taking photos would help families get together for quality time while showcasing the community’s spirit. “Even if it’s a family saying we’re going to get together and go on a sliding hill for a quick video, or mailing
