Mr. Speaker, it is my favourite time of the year in Calgary Midnapore, Christmas. Growing up, every Christmas eve I would go skating on Lake Bonavista, attend church at Holy Nativity and then we were off to my grandmother's home in Acadia for treats and to open one single present. The holiday season is alive and well in 2021, as constituents from Fairview to Walden continue to celebrate. They might go meet Santa at Southcentre, play hockey on Lake Sundance or cross-country ski the trails of Fish Creek. They will light up the pond in Legacy, go to the Christmas craft fair in Queensland or meet up with friends for a festive pint at Brewsters, Kildares or the Windsor Rose. We can find them stocking up on antipasto and panettone at the Italian Centre or finishing their shopping at the stores of Shaughnessy or Willow Park Village, enjoying the holiday lights of Park 96, Lake Bonaventure and Maple Ridge. As we celebrate with family, friends and community, we can be sure that in Calgary Midnapore, it is the most wonderful time of the year.
