thanksgiving in brantford

I have just returned from a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner and visit with my family in Brantford and I am stuffed and very happy to have spent quality time with my family. At the dinner table today was my immediate family. My younger sister Kathy and her husband Matt, my younger brother Stephen and my parents and John and I. As usual we had fabulous food.
We had cabbage rolls (Kathy makes the best ever), Patyczki (from the Polish Hall), turkey, stuffing (my specialty) potatoes and gravy and 3 vegetables! Every bite was great and made with love. Food, family and celebration go hand in hand in my family ( I have over 50 aunts, uncles and cousins within an hours drive of Toronto and there is always great food when we get together). It was great to see my family and have the time to share my experiences of running for city council with them. As you may imagine my family is very excited and proud that I am running for council.
Both of my parents immigrated to Canada from Poland in the early 1950's. They are hard working and proud people who believe and have demonstrated that everyone has a duty to contribute in a positive way their community. Clearly the apple does not fall far from the tree. I have taken this value to heart and been an active and contributing member to every community I have lived in. I am pleased to make a difference in ward 13 and look forward to having the opportunity as a city councillor.
