Honourable Speaker…
Please allow me to express my sincere words of appreciation for being given this opportunity once again to present the State of the District Address, our very first virtual address as a district and our second as council since the 2016 elections. I am deeply honoured to address
this meeting even though it is during a time where our country and indeed the whole world is faced with the biggest threat and challenge to not only our health, our way of life and our economy.
