A message from Mayor Clarkson

July 19, 2021

Good morning fellow Trent Lakers! 

This is such a lovely day, that I thought the timing was right to send a word of caution to all who haven’t got their COVID-19 shot or shots yet! We are having a taste as to just what getting back to normal might look like, but if we listen and pay attention to the Canadian news you will understand just how fragile this is! There is a high likelihood that schools will be impacted again this fall if our youth aren’t vaccinated. It is not enough to say “well most people will.” This little beggar isn’t interested in most people. It is interested in those who have chosen not to take the hard earned science that is giving us the option to positively impact our own futures. If you think of that, how many times do we get this opportunity? Storms come, no control. Wild fires come, no control. Epidemic comes and until we got the vaccines we had no control over that either. Here we are, now let’s take control and choose to live and let live. 

Best regards to you all,

Mayor Janet Clarkson
