What an outstanding evening at the Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce Awards of Excellence! It was an honour to serve as emcee and to celebrate the businesses and people who make Sylvan Lake such a strong, creative, and community‑minded place. I have been away from posting and public life for a while as I recover from ACDF surgery, so it meant a lot to be able to come out for a few hours and join everyone in recognizing the incredible work happening in our community.
