In her annual Christmas message Lieutenant Governor Janice Filmon says the festive season seems to bring out the best in Manitobans providing many opportunities for citizens of all ages and faiths to demonstrate our renowned, shared sense of generosity and community spirit.  She says our province truly cares and that wonderful attribute is on full display this time of year noting customs and cultures may vary  from one home to another but each tradition has its own way of reflecting the cherished values of love, peace and goodwill.  Filmon adds the holiday season is further brightened by an impressive array of arts, culture, sports and neighborhood activities that bring people together and enrich the quality of life we enjoy in our province. She concluded may the wonder of this special time inspire gratitude and added appreciation for each other and the place we are so fortunate to call home.
