As the year draws to a close, I find myself taking a moment to look at the year that has been, the year ahead and simply just pause in the moment.
2022 has once again has been a year that has presented us with a number of challenges. It certainly started off a little differently than we all had hoped when our city endured an extremely challenging time as we faced the worst flooding since 1974. However, in the face of this adversity I was proud of this great city and the way people supported and cared for each other.
I know when I reflect on 2022, I am proud of our great city and the way we have navigated the challenges. I am immensely proud of the way in which the community has come together and supported each other during those tough times.
I for one am looking forward to 2023 and all that it holds for the City of Logan.
On a festive note, I hope that everyone it able to spend quality time with family and loved ones.Â
However, Christmas can be a challenging time for some people in our community. I urge you take care of one another, check in on families and friends or those that are most vulnerable and spare a thought for those doing it tough.
Recent sobering events in our local and wider community have been a strong reminder about how precious life is and to value every moment with our loved ones.
If you are taking the chance for a holiday, please be safe and take your time on the roads.
On behalf of my fellow Councillors and I, I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
Stay safe.
