Editor,
As the final clean up of this year’s Christmas on the Bay fades into memories of 6400+ attendees, piles of snow, and extraordinary volunteers – just showing up – I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the community that made it all possible. To the sponsors whose generosity gave towards our vision and are committed to making dreams a reality, your belief in this event fuels everything we do!!
To our incredible volunteers, the dedicated unsung heroes & snow shovelers, thank you for giving your time, energy, and passion. Your commitment reminds us that when committed people come together, extraordinary things happen.
A special shout-out to Straw Hats, our ‘Brothers from Another Mother’, whose unwavering support and boundless enthusiasm takes every challenge and turns it into a Community WIN!!!! You don’t just help; you go beyond.
And to the Christmas on the Bay Board – a group of kind, determined individuals who embody the power of teamwork and community service – your extraordinary efforts are what transform this event from an idea into a LOVED tradition…Thank You!!!
Finally, to the performers of the 150 Diverse Abilities Concert: you defined life for us in one stunning afternoon. Through your courage & talent, you reminded us to live fully and with intention. You are the heartbeat of COTB —joy, love, and unity.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey. Together, we’ve created some magic in Meaford’s Town Square and through out our beloved community!
