End of the school year: a message from the Mayor

To all the children who attended Westmount schools, I congratulate you on finally completing your school year. It has been like no other. However, you have all persevered and prevailed despite the many adaptations and modifications to your day-to-day academic lives. It was indeed a unique experience. Through it all, you have shown strength and humour.

A big thank you to all the parents for their dedication and patience. I can understand the commitment and sacrifices that we make without question for our children. And, to all the school staff, a huge thank you. You have gone above and beyond to give our young people the best experience, the best education, in a time filled with the unexpected. It was a pleasure partnering with you to maximize the usage of our green spaces to provide safe learning environments, due to the physical distancing restrictions.

I wish you all a wonderful summer vacation and may the next school year bring us closer to a return to normalcy.

Christina M. Smith
Mayor of Westmount
