It ’ s all happening in November . We ’ ve opened up with COVID-19 restrictions easing , we can shop in person , send the kids to school , visit loved ones , work without a mask ( in most cases ) and the weather is warming up – perfect for outdoor fun with family and friends and exploring our district ’ s community and entertainment venues .
We have so much to look forward to now after months of lockdown and it ’ s all thanks to you . Vaccination rates for our region have been fantastic , with our local members of parliament and businesses thankful and humbled by the support you ’ ve shown for the safety and wellbeing of everyone . It was never just about the individual – it ’ s about the whole community moving forward .
This month RSL NSW urges you to ‘ Remember to Remember ’. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we pay tribute , commemorate and honour men and women who ’ ve lost their lives in war and continue to protect us and defend our country . Wherever you are and whatever you ’ re doing please take a minute to pause and reflect on Remembrance Day . See p4 .
Our story on p8 about the inaugural Scarecrow Trail competition shows what a band of locals can do when they get together to lift the spirits and celebrate our communities with a bit of fun as we emerge from lockdown .
November is synonymous with Movember and of course those crazy ‘ tashes grown by everyday fellas raising funds for men ’ s physical and mental health . Get behind your locals by checking out what you can do in our story on p29 .
Of course , we ’ ve got another “ Hawkesbury ’ s Finest ” expose and a local government election feature on pages 18-21 as council elections are set down for Saturday , 4 December .
