From Office of Mayor 

Happy New Year and Happy Bicentennial, Mississippi Mills! 

As we welcome 2023 and our Bicentennial year, I can’t wait for the celebrations to begin - we have so much to look forward to! The Bicentennial will be a celebration and also a display of our character, our history, and the things that make us really proud. 

I have a big goal for our community in 2023 that I hope you’ll help me with:  My challenge to every resident of Mississippi Mills: during our Bicentennial year let’s get to know each other better.  Get involved, volunteer, or attend something you wouldn't normally go to. Make a point of celebrating what makes someone else proud to live here! 

• If you've never heard the bands at the Legion, go to one of their music nights;

• If you've never met a local farmer, register for a farm tour;

• If you haven't been involved recognizing the rich Indigenous History of these lands, get involved with All My Relations;

• If you don't get all the fuss about puppets, volunteer at a Puppets Up show! 

What better way to get to know someone, who maybe thinks a little differently than you, than to celebrate and have fun together. Our Bicentennial will provide lots of opportunities - stay tuned for details. www.mississippimills.ca/200 

Happy New Year and Happy Bicentennial, Mississippi Mills!  Here’s to a bright 2023!
