RICHARD HADDOW Sales Representative Free Appraisals! HADDOWSTTHOMAS.CA • 519-495-0789 We should all be thankful to live in a country that is free, democratic and allows us the freedom to choose and express our opinions. As your Mayor, I am frequently on the receiving end of your opin- ions, and I’m happy to hear them. I have a clear understanding of what a privilege it is to be your Mayor. Thank you for the opportunity.

190 Wortley Rd. Martial Arts and Wellness Programs in the Heart of Wortley Village I am thankful that we have three First Nations as our neighbours, and we are fostering a relation- ship of collaboration and respect. Mayor’s Message This month is our season of Thanksgiving. I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope that you can enjoy time with friends and family. I want to let you know what I am thankful for, both as your Mayor and on a personal level. I will leave my personal thankfulness for last. As Mayor, I am thankful for the opportunity to lead and be part of a Municipality that has so much to offer, and that is safe, inclusive and wel- coming. Strathroy-Caradoc was built on immi- gration and diversity and has always welcomed newcomers to our area. I am proud and thankful that tradition continues today. As one of the few small municipalities in Ontar- io that continues to have its own Police Depart- ment, I am very grateful to the men and women of SCPD who keep all of us safe in a kind, caring manner. A special thank you to the senior lead- ership team of Chief Campbell and Deputy Chief Cushman. On the theme of community safety, we should be extremely thankful to the men and women of our Volunteer Fire Department who give countless hours to protect us from fire.

Molly Maid Being a good neighbour is something that I have personally witnessed and am thankful for. When my elderly father was unable to leave the farm- house for the last year of his life, it was friends and neighbours who helped care for him and would visit regularly. To me, that is the spirit of who we are as a small community, and for that, I will always be thankful. Have a great Thanksgiving! Lastly, I want to express how thankful I am that I live in a community that hasn’t forgotten what it means to give back and be good neighbours. To the various service clubs, organizations and sports teams that make this a vibrant place to live – thank you.

"We are extremely thankful for all the love and support we have received from loyal sponsors, donors and volunteers. Many hands make for light work, and we appreciate all the help over these two decades,” says Doreen. “The journey one faces going through cancer can be daunting, but we believe by spreading the word and providing support through our events, no one fights alone." This season’s anniversary "Denim and Boots" fundraiser will be an exciting night of harness racing, a synchronized riding perfor- mance by the Cutting-Edge Cowgirls, women’s driving challenge, prizes and an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner at the Top of the Fair. To join the fun and to help raise money toward this year’s goal, visit harnessthehope.com or contact Kristine Dustin at harnessthehope@yahoo.com.

The harness-racing event takes place Friday, October 17th at The Raceway at Western Fair Dis- trict, London, Ontario.

The funds the organization raises go to Breast Cancer Canada and Pink Pearl Canada. Proceeds from Harness the Hope merchan- dise sales support the creation of essential care packages for patients receiving active cancer treatments.
