The Mayor’s Levee is a New Year’s tradition where residents can meet the Mayor, their local representatives, and greet each other to celebrate the new year.
Mayor Kevin Ashe held this two-hour event this past Jan. 11th to a fluctuating crowd of nearly 2000 people.
A lively and energetic band entertained the event attendees with music from the Council chambers. It added to the atmosphere of socializing and engaging with people from the community. Pickering’s political reps were enthusiastically involved from Mayor Kevin Ashe to many councillors.
Councillors Maurice Brenner, Mara Nagy, David Pickles and Lisa Robinson greeted all comers with chit chat and engaging social interaction.
Refreshments were bountiful: sandwiches, crudites, desserts and even maple syrup toffee on ice, the best.
It was a wonderful opportunity to shake hands with the Mayor and meet him in person. As well, many councillors mingled with the hundreds of visitors for the whole afternoon giving attendees the opportunity of putting a face to a political name.
A wonderful festivity done with great success.
Thank you Mr. Mayor!
