Hi, I'm Danny Breen, mayor of the City of St. John's, wishing you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a joyful New Year. As Christmas draws closer, so too do thoughts of those we care about the most - family, friends and the people who make a difference in our lives.

While it may be a difficult one for many this year, my wish for you all is a Christmas that is filled with joy and happiness. I hope you enjoy quality time with your loved ones and taking part in the holiday activities in our community. Let us not forget to check in on our neighbors and, if you have a little extra, remember those less fortunate.

At the City we have a skilled team of professional employees dedicated to providing you with quality programs and services. We look forward to serving you in 2023.

On behalf of City Council and our staff, I wish you a safe warm and peaceful holiday season.
