We wanted to take a moment starting out your week, to remind you of your invaluable contributions to your communities, regions, and the province. It is a job that very rarely gives thanks, which is another reason those involved with public works are some of the hardest working, most dedicated individuals.
Hope you are all taking a moment sometime this week to celebrate your public works team.
The theme this week is below, and the poster and proclamation template are attached.
This year’s theme “Rooted in Service, Powered by Community” acknowledges that the roots of service run deep in public works. It’s what has propelled public works innovations that have helped our communities evolve into places where people can lead lives of purpose and possibility. Some work—like building roads and bridges—is highly visible, while other public works contributions—like maintaining water and sewer systems—are sometimes hidden from view. Together, these efforts form the foundation of thriving communities, reminding us that every project, seen or unseen, powers the connection between service and the people it supports.
