A warm hello to everyone in the community. My name is Tony Driscoll and on Monday night my fellow councillors elected me to represent you as Mayor of Northern Grampians Shire Council. It will be my third term in this role and whether you grew up here like me or you are newly settled in our shire, I am very much looking forward to catching up with you all out and about in the community.
Today is Remembrance Day and I ask you all to consider taking a minute's silence at 11am in memory of everyone who served and fell in the line of duty during the First World War. This war had a devastating impact on many families in our rural community last century and the service offers us a moment to reflect on the supreme sacrifice they made for the freedoms we enjoy today. Council will be laying a wreath at the RSL memorial services in both Stawell and St Arnaud. Lest we forget.
