Editorial — Much to ponder from 2015
January 12, 2016 · 0 Comments
A new year is a time for many things, including reflection.
That means thinking back on what has gone on in the last year, both in our personal lives and beyond.
Some of the events that happened in the last year were troubling, if not frightening. Some of us could be justified in wondering if terrorists will hit closer to home in 2016.
But it wasn’t all bad.
The local major league baseball heroes came alive in the later stages of the campaign, and so did a country full of fans. True, the result wasn’t what we were hoping for, but what a ride it was!
There were ups and downs in Caledon too.
Municipal politicians to the south tried to pressure Caledon representatives into doing things their way, while many of us pondered why they suddenly became so interested in what goes on in Bolton. The local councillors at the Region kicked up a fuss. It’s clear the matter is going to be raised again in the coming year, and we would expect soon.
On the positive side, those of us who were there will have a very hard time ever forgetting the thrill of the Pan American Games in July. It’s one thing to watch such spectacles on TV — probably all of us have done that. But to see it close up, and to have been in the stands in Palgrave the day O Canada was played in honour of our equestrian Show Jumping team was a very special moment indeed.
There were other moments, perhaps not as special, but certainly memorable in our town.
