Mayor DeViet opened the meeting by acknowledging the many special recognition events in June. This month, we celebrate National Indigenous History Month, Seniors Month, Pride Month, National Accessibility Week, Parks and Recreation Month, and Local Food Week, among others. Each of these observances speaks to our vision of Middlesex Centre as a thriving, progressive, and welcoming community that honours our rural roots and embraces our natural spaces.
