New Year in the Park

The 11th annual City of Charlottetown Capital New Year in the Park will take place on Friday, December 31, at Victoria Park Clubhouse from 5:30-7:00pm.

There will be refreshments, music, horse and sleigh rides, and walks through the woods.  At 7:00pm Reverend Matheson will give a Prayer for Peace for 2011 followed by a fireworks display.

This is a great community event for families that promotes peace and happiness for the coming new year.

Hope you can join in the celebration.

Resident Members

I’ve heard from several people recently offering to serve as resident members on committees. Nice to see the level of interest.

I’m Back

Through a series of events that began in August with a notification from my web hosting company that my domain name needed to be renewed, this website went dark for the better part of  a couple of months, at least. I happened to receive that important message while I was vacationing in Maine and it didn’t re-enter my consciousness until I realized one day in October that my website was no longer reachable. Then began a long process of reacquiring my domain by “backordering” through pool.com, a process which was drawn out longer than expected due to a series of technical problems with CIRA’s TBR domain names.

All of this was my own fault,  not only because I ignored an important warning about my domain, but also because I’d been neglecting this blog so completely that I hadn’t even noticed when it disappeared. I’m back now, but much has transpired in the meantime. For one, I’ve been re-elected by acclamation to another four-year term on Charlottetown City Council. Otherwise, there would have been little point getting this website back up and running.

I plan to set aside some time to update the website more often. I’ve probably lost most of the small number of readers I might have had at one time, but I’ll try to woo them back slowly with helpful information and insight about municipal happenings. Stay tuned.
