with Ed Husic MP

As we approach the holiday season , I want to express my sincere admiration for way our local community weathered the lows and celebrated the highs of the year .

Who knew that 2021 would be tougher than 2020 ? After almost four months of lockdown , I know many of you will be looking forward to spending time

with family and friends . Know that your hard work throughout the year kept the community together .

Many community organisations continued to provide their services despite the challenges of lockdown . Whether that was providing meals to residents impacted by COVID or hospital staff and pharmacists who worked around the clock to get us vaccinated , I want to thank you for your persistence .

They say people show their true colours during times of crisis . The Chifley community can stand tall , knowing we are a community who steps us when push comes to shove . We see that attitude in all corners of the Chifley electorate .

It ’ s that sort of spirit that led to the area achieving the highest vaccination rates of any local government area in NSW . And it ’ s that spirit that makes me so

proud to represent you .

Don ’ t forget to take time to rest and remember to slow down after what ’ s been a big year .

If you live in the Chifley electorate , you ’ ll be receiving a Christmas card from me soon so keep an eye out on the post . The front cover is designed by Lori-Anne Blanchard from Bidwill Public School . Thank you Lori-Anne for your terrific artwork and creativity .
