WHEREAS Giving Tuesday is a celebration of generosity and volunteerism that encourages people to give as much as they can, in whatever way they can; and,
WHEREAS giving can take many forms, including donating to local non-profits, volunteering time, providing physical goods or helping neighbours; and,
WHEREAS Giving Tuesday is a day where citizens work together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes, build a stronger community and think about other people; and,
WHEREAS it is fitting and proper on Giving Tuesday and on every day to recognize the tremendous impact of philanthropy, volunteerism and community service in the Town of The Blue Mountains; and,
WHEREAS Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to encourage citizens to serve others throughout this holiday season and throughout the year.
NOW THEREFORE I, Andrea Matrosovs, Mayor of the Town of The Blue Mountains, do hereby proclaim December 2, 2025, as Giving Tuesday in the Town of The Blue Mountains.
