Dear Readers,

Almost two years ago,when the COVID-19 pandemic started, the Mill Woods Mosaic went online, after this multicultural community newspaper had been printed monthly since 2008. Almost two years later, I am happy to report that the Mill Woods Mosaic is still alive and kicking, thanks to our loyal advertisers and readers who have continued to support this local publication.

The last two years were
tough for many of us who have lost their jobs or businesses and had to adjust to online learning or working. The worst part is that, to date, more than 436,000 Albertans were infected, and 3,380 have lost their lives, due to the virus.
The good news is that 367,000 Albertans (84%) have recovered from COVID-19, more than 73% are already vaccinated twice, and more than one million Albertans have already received their third dose
(“Booster Shot”).

If you are not yet vaccinated, PLEASE do us a favourand book an appointment. All you have to do is go to alberta.ca and book your
appointment online or make
an appointment with your
local pharmacy. Do the right
thing to protect yourself and
the people around you from
this deadly virus. I wish all
of you a Happy New Year.
Stay safe and healthy in
2022.
