A message from Lunenburg Mayor, Jamie Myra:

Thank You, Lunenburg.

As we close out what has been an incredibly challenging few days for our community, I want to take a moment to say thank you.

On behalf of Council - to every resident, business owner, employee, volunteer, and community organization who did their part to conserve water, adjust their routines, support their neighbours, and help us through this situation - thank you.

The fact that we have reached where we are today, as quickly as we have, is a direct result of the incredible buy-in and cooperation from our entire community. Everyone made a difference, and every effort, big or small, helped get us here.

As Mayor, I have to say that I am truly overwhelmed and honoured to be the Mayor of this Town. Watching Lunenburg come together, put aside individual challenges, and work toward the same goal has been incredibly humbling. This is what community is all about.

I also want to recognize our incredible Town team. Our Public Works, Water & Wastewater and Town Hall staff put in countless hours throughout this situation. Their dedication and commitment to our community have been nothing short of remarkable.

We have also been fortunate to receive tremendous support from the Lunenburg County Regional Emergency Management Organization (REMO), neighbouring municipalities and other levels of government. A special thank you to Minister Susan Corkum-Greek, Minister Kim Masland, and Mayor David Mitchell, Chair of REMO, for their support and assistance throughout the week.

We are in a much better place with our water supply because all of us worked together. While we still need to remain mindful of our water use, we can take a moment to recognize what we have accomplished as a community.

Lunenburg showed up for one another when it mattered most.

Thank you, Lunenburg. I could not be prouder of this community, and I am incredibly grateful to serve as your Mayor.


Jamie Myra,
Mayor of Lunenburg
