What even is a Mayor’s Levee?!

We’re so glad you asked! A New Year’s Levee is a long-standing tradition in communities across Canada. It’s an open house hosted by the Mayor and Council to welcome residents, reflect on the year that has passed, and look ahead with optimism. Most importantly, it’s a chance for neighbours to connect in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
