Reeve Joe Blakeman sends a year-end video message to thank Lac Ste. Anne County staff for their always-exceptional efforts, and for going above and beyond the call of duty to maintain service levels during COVID-19.

"On behalf of myself and Council, we want to send a big shout out to our staff. They've been incredible. When you deal with something like we've dealt with this last year...when it was time to come back to work. people came back to work. When it was time to go out and work...and under the new rules and regulations,our Public Works guys went to work. The roads were open.

I just don't know how some of them manage it. I really don't. But I get emotional on this one because I do thank everybody.

So God bless."
