Thanksgiving greetings from The Regional Municipality of York

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, I extend warm wishes to all York Region residents for a safe and joyful Thanksgiving.

Today, residents across York Region will gather with loved ones to celebrate the harvest season and give thanks to those who make a difference in our lives.

As we come together to enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving, I encourage us all to acknowledge York Region’s farmers, food businesses and food suppliers who work tirelessly to ensure we have access to safe, healthy and reliable food. I also encourage you to recognize and support the work of our local food banks and food organizations who do an extraordinary job at helping residents – particularly vulnerable people – have access to good, high-quality and nutritious food in their time of need.

Finally, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I extend my appreciation to our first responders and frontline workers who sacrifice time with their families to keep our communities healthy and safe.

On behalf of Regional Council, I give thanks to all residents of York Region for your contributions to the health, well-being and economic prosperity of our communities.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Wayne Emmerson
York Region Chairman and CEO
