Christmas Message - Letter to the Editor

As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the arrival of 2016 I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone within the Lowan electorate a happy and safe Christmas.

Christmas is an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and to reflect on the important things in life.

Holidays can bring great moments of joy and hopefully long stretches of relaxation. I hope everyone enjoys this time, but also remains vigilant and safe on the roads, in our waterways, pools, out in nature and even in the backyard.

As the festive season brings with it an array of shopping needs I encourage everyone to shop locally to support our local traders and economy.

It has been a privilege to represent and work for the people of Lowan in 2015. For me it has been a busy and fulfilling first year in politics and I have greatly enjoyed the diversity of individuals, groups and organisations I have worked with.

The strength and generosity of our rural communities is one of our greatest assets. Please take the time to look out for others in our community, to extend the hand of friendship and offer the spirit of Christmas to those around you.

Again, I wish everyone across the Lowan electorate a safe and happy Christmas.

Emma Kealy

Member for Lowan
