It has been a busy start to the summer here in Aurora.
\nIt was a pleasure to join together with our community on Canada Day to celebrate Canada\u2019s 150th Anniversary of Confederation.
\nThe Canada Day festivities at Lambert Willson Park were well attended and filled with great music, entertainment, food and many fun activities for all ages. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #385 in Aurora hosted a wonderful Canada Day BBQ filled with music and dancing.
\nA special thank you to the Town of Aurora staff, community organizations and the many volunteers for their hard work and commitment to help to make the Town of Aurora Canada Day festivities a great success.
\nIt wa s an honour to join Mayor Geoff Dawe, Aurora Town Councillors, MP Leona Alleslev and MPP Chris Ballard at Aurora\u2019s Town Hall for the official welcome ceremony for the visiting delegation from Leksand, Sweden.
\nThe delegation included Mayor Ulrika Liljeberg, Vice-Mayor, Anne-Lie Stenberg and Town Manager Goran Wigert.
\nThe Town of Aurora has been twinned with Leksand, Sweden since approximately 1974 and it was a special honour to have the delegation join together with our community on Canada Day in celebration of Canada\u2019s 150th Anniversary of Confederation.
\nOn Tuesday, June 27, on behalf of the Hon. Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Sconce and Economic Development and Minister Responsible for FedDev Ontario, I was proud to announce $130,100 in Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program funding for the Rehabilitation of the Ice Rink project at the Aurora Community Centre.
\nThis funding will allow for important improvements to be made to the ice rink ensuring residents may continue to enjoy being active through sport, recreation and leisure for many years to come\u200e.
\nThis July marks the one year anniversary of our Government\u2019s launch of the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), which helps families with the high cost of raising children.
\nIn the month of May, families of Newmarket-Aurora received on average approximately $500 totalling $5,963,000 which is benefitting 20,620 children.
\nThe Canada Child Benefit is helping lift approximately 300,000 children out of poverty. The benefits are providing parents with more flexibility to put money towards the things that are important to them.
\nI will be hosting a barbecue on Sunday, August 20, from 12 noon to 2:30 pm at Fairy Lake Park in Newmarket.
\nI invite everyone in our community to come and join us to celebrate Canada\u2019s 150, enjoy great food and fun activities for the kids. It will be a fantastic opportunity meet with many great people of our community.
\nIn case of rain, the BBQ will be held in the Newmarket Community Centre at 200 Doug Duncan Drive, Newmarket. Hope to see you there!
