Mayor Ross Siemens is inviting Abbotsford elementary children in grades K-5 to take part in a contest to design the annual Christmas card.

Elementary students from across the city are encouraged to create and submit a festive Christmas drawing that could be selected for the cover of the Mayor’s official 2024 Christmas card.

Please review the importance of hand washing etiquette before and after meals, and continued policy on not sharing food with other students. Let's keep all our kids safe!
