Back in December, the mayor and council were described as courageous for not allowing stores and businesses to open on Boxing Day. This was a day for friends and family to celebrate together. The exemption list put out by council allowed a number of stores to open.
Fast forward to Feb.1 - Family Day. Imagine my surprise when I found out facilities run by the city would be open; ski hills some arenas, landfill sites and so on. This is all controlled by council.
Courage would be to have everything closed, not just the perception that the city cares about families. Our Family Day consisted of supper together, but not until we all got home from work - just like every other day.
