The City says, one of Council’s Strategic Priorities is City building, with a focus on creating destinations and events that help attract new residents, businesses, investment, and people.
Mayor Ian Boddy says in a statement, “These five award-winning events are a testament to our community’s resiliency. With some innovation and creativity, our staff team was able to find ways to continue to have fun and celebrate all our city has to offer in the midst of the pandemic. Congratulations to the organizers and participants who made these events such a success.”
The City is planning to continue these events this summer. It is also adding The Sound Waterfront Festival, which is set to take place from Thursday, June 30th to Sunday, July 3rd.
