Tough economic times always bring out the best Ontarians, and this holiday season offers us the chance to prove it again, Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli said today.

“No question, our province is going through a rough patch right now, and we’ve all had to tighten our belts, with some 580,000 Ontarians out of work,” said Fedeli.

“But there are other ways to give all year long that cost nothing but a little time and goodwill.

“So here’s a reminder to everyone in Nipissing to find time this Christmas season to give something back to your community. It might be pitching in on a food drive. You could lend a hand in charitable activities at your place of worship. Maybe find unwanted items around the house to donate for use by someone less fortunate."

“Whatever we do during this busy time of year, we can always find time for others.”

For his part, Fedeli brought a turkey and helped serve dinner at the People for Equal Partnership in Mental Health Christmas Dinner at the Golden Age Club in North Bay last night.

“I ask you to join me in the same spirit, in activities that directly benefit others over the holidays. We’ll get through these tough times if we pull together as neighbours, friends and Ontarians,” Fedeli said.
