I'm attending the @BFASTransit transit user forum this afternoon. It's been a few years since I was able to attend. Good attendance from councillors, staff and community members.

Only on transit. Won't find this on the roadways - just angry drivers rushing their last minute Christmas shopping. Season's Greetings.

It's official... We're on the nice list! Thank you to everyone who made this year's Santa Claus Parade a success. We had a wonderful time being a part of the big day. Our 2023 holiday bus made its debut at the parade. Have you seen it? It's our favourite one yet! #BurlON
