As we approach the end of another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made together and to express my gratitude for the strength and spirit of our community.
2024 has been a year of growth and resilience for Powell River. From the completion of several important infrastructure projects to the ongoing work on environmental sustainability, we have made strides toward building a city that is both vibrant and future-ready. Our community has embraced these changes, and it is through your commitment to this shared vision that we continue to thrive.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of Powell River. Plans are in motion to enhance our parks and recreational spaces, improve public transportation and ensure that our city is prepared for the opportunities and challenges that come with growth. We also remain focused on creating affordable housing options and fostering a local economy that supports businesses of all sizes, from small startups to established companies.
I would like to recognize and thank our staff for the excellent work they have done during 2024, from the day-to-day functions that keep our city running to major projects that advance our community. The next time you see a city employee working on roads, trees, or one of the city’s facilities, give them a friendly wave.
This holiday season, I encourage everyone to take time to connect with family, friends and neighbours. As we move into 2025, let’s continue to show kindness, generosity, and the sense of community that makes Powell River such a special place to live.
Wishing you all a joyful and safe holiday season!
