WE’RE nearly there! Christmas is just around the corner and it cannot come quick enough.

After what could only be described as an unforgettable year, I’m very much looking forward to getting together with friends and family while enjoying some Christmas ham and a few cold beers.

I’m sure you’re looking forward to something similar. Think of it as your reward for sacrificing so much in 2020.

Don’t think twice about having that extra piece of pudding – you deserve it!

In the lead up, I encourage you to buy your presents and produce locally wherever possible, supporting those businesses that have endured so much.

A huge thanks to everyone across the Nicholls electorate for your commitment towards minimising the impact of COVID19 in the region. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

And while the loosening of restrictions should be celebrated, I urge everyone to remain vigilant about COVID safety to minimise the chance of further outbreaks.

Merry Christmas!

AS 2020 draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all, both as individuals and as members of the Shepparton District community, for the great job you have done during what is universally described as “a year like no other”.

Despite many challenges, people right across our community showed amazing personal strength, commitment to each other, generosity and kindness.

It was a privilege to see our health professionals work so tirelessly to keep the community safe and to see people line up for hours locally to do the right thing and stop the spread of the pandemic in its tracks.

Looking forward to a new year that promises vaccines, economic growth and new jobs, I wish everyone across the Shepparton District electorate a safe and merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS From Graham Hill Eyecare

ON behalf of Greater Shepparton City Council, we wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a relaxing festive season.

The year 2020 hasn’t gone to plan for many of us, but Christmas and the holiday season is a great reminder of the importance of what we hold dearest, our family and friends.

We’ve been so grateful for the assistance and leadership from our residents throughout 2020 and the challenges it has presented, and it has been a

reminder of the amazing community we have here in Greater Shepparton.

Please remember to take care and stay safe over the Christmas and the New Year period, continue to follow the relevant COVID-19 restrictions and do the simple things that have allowed us to control the COVID-19 virus.

There are big things happening in Greater Shepparton in 2021 and it will be wonderful to work with the community to achieve them.

May we all enjoy a safe, relaxed and enjoyable Christmas with our loved ones.

We LOOK forward to helping you SEE a great year ahead.

Best wishes,

After Christmas, we are open on the 29th and 30th December and will return on Mon 4th January

Christmas

AS 2020 draws close to a conclusion and we look forward to celebrating Christmas, we reflect on what a year it has been.

Our region made it through a hot and fiery summer and just as everyone both personally and in business were starting to recover from when we were hit with the news that COVID-19 had landed in Australia.

Our region, and Greater Shepparton has survived this trial, however with some people and businesses doing it very hard while others were able to be successful in adapting and modifying how they operate to make a success of a difficult time.

Health-wise, we have as a community done extremely well. We have observed the lockdowns, we have maintained the requirements of social distancing and mask wearing with good humour, and now we are ready to celebrate Christmas with family and friends like never before.

Our Greater Shepparton Community will take in their stride the COVIDSafe requirements to stay safe whilst enjoying ourselves.

We need to consider the fact that businesses have done it hard, and it is a good plan to buy local, support locally owned businesses and in doing so, protect the jobs of our friends and relations.

Above all, I hope that as we enter this festive time, that all our citizens experience the love and support that being a part of a connected family and community can provide.

A very Merry and Safe Christmas, New Year and a safe and successful 2021.

Best wishes, John Anderson, President, Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry

2020

THIS has been a year like no other, which has not only highlighted the strength, resilience and adaptability of our region, but also showcased the extraordinarily big hearts and endless kindness that make our local community so special to be part of.

This year has impacted all of us, and in particular the most vulnerable in our community. As we move into the busy holiday period, take care of each other, and, if you can, for someone who might be doing it a bit tougher too.

The festive season is a time for coming together – something that is even more valuable after a year where so many of us may have been separated from our loved ones. From all of us here at GMCU, we wish everyone a safe and happy festive season with family and friends.

WE have shown throughout this year how resilient and determined our community can be when facing adversity. COVID-19 has challenged all of us in one way or another, but here we are preparing to enjoy a Christmas and holidays with very welcomed freedoms allowing us to be with our loved ones and friends– the most important thing right now.

But this year we have witnessed an increase in people in our community needing a hand up while they struggle through the effects of COVID-19 and other personal adversity.

The work of Greater Shepparton Foundation this time of year wraps around these people, working hard to bring them some material relief, but also to show them they are loved and supported.

I am very proud of how our community has rallied and looked after its own during 2020. It is a privilege to play a part in our strong culture of giving.

I wish everyone a happy and safe festive season and hope for all a positive start to the New Year.

Take care and stay safe.

MERRY Christmas to all. When we look back on 2020 terms such as challenging, devastating, existential threat and unprecedented will be thrown around. We could also use words such as compassionate, innovative and resilient. For the Goulburn Valley, we generally weathered the disruption well.

We have been incredibly well served by our agencies, and at the forefront of that is Goulburn Valley Health.

The way they communicated, contact traced and tested helped us stay safe and operating, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. Greater Shepparton City Council also stepped up this year, offering support to the vulnerable and keeping the communication flowing. Businesses that ramped up made a big effort to employ people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic.

In short, we showed that we are a community that care about each other, and what could be more appropriate to the Christmas spirit than to reflect on that and resolve to build on it in 2021?

Angelo & the entire Standby Security team wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year

We look forward to providing our superior products and services in our community in 2021 WHAT a year!

It’s hard to believe the Christmas season is already upon us and as we all start preparing for the end of the year, this is also an opportunity for reflection.

At the end of a challenging year, I am immensely proud of what GOTAFE students and staff have achieved in 2020. As someone who believes in the transformative power of education, there is a huge amount of positive work happening at GOTAFE and I am optimistic that we will have more great news to share in 2021.

To our students, staff and their families, I want to especially thank you all for being so adaptive during a difficult year. Your resilience is truly inspirational, and we look forward to expanding on the strengths gained in 2020 and continuing to deliver quality education next year and beyond.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Have a great and well-deserved break, stay safe this festive season and enjoy time spent with your loved ones.

We look forward to welcoming our new and returning students to our campuses in 2021.

On behalf of Goulburn Valley Health staff and volunteers, I would like to wish all of our community a happy and safe festive season with your family and friends. This festive season will be important for many of us that have spent large parts of the year not being able to spend as much time with loved ones as we would like.

It has been a challenging year for us all and GV Health is grateful for the terrific support the community, businesses, service providers and individuals have shown our staff who have been working so hard to keep all of the Goulburn Valley healthy during the Coronavirus pandemic.

We look forward to providing outstanding care and services to everyone in the Goulburn Valley region in 2021.

SEASON’S Greetings!

On behalf of the churches and Christian community around Greater Shepparton, I’d like to warmly wish all our local community a heartfelt Merry Christmas! For Christians, this is an especially holy and celebratory time of year as we remember the birth of the founder of our faith – Jesus Christ. His story is so relatable – born into most humble circumstances, downtrodden, rejected, despised and killed but emerges triumphant from the grave! I can’t help but be inspired year after year with this timeless message – hope and love triumphing over fear and hate.

We invite those looking for spiritual hope to visit one of our many churches in our region this Christmas season, you are most welcome! And even if that’s not for you, we love that we are able to celebrate this holy time of year with our wider community. And what a great place we live in.

Enjoy and be blessed!

WISHING the people of the Goulburn Valley a very happy Christmas after what has been an incredibly tough year. More than ever our staff have had to dig deep to keep our residents and each other safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, and our residents have been absolute super stars; patient, understanding and so resilient.

If nothing else, it has taught us when the chips were down, we can and we do! When things are tough, this community is incredibly hardy and supportive and Shepparton Villages is grateful for the ongoing support of its residents, families, staff and community over the past 12 months.

It has been a delight getting to know the Shepparton and Mooroopna communities and I look forward to a brighter 2021.

Wishing you all a very safe and happy Christmas period.

ON behalf of the Goulburn Valley Health Board, staff and volunteers, I would like to wish everyone in the region a happy and safe festive season with family, friends and loved ones.

It has been a very busy and exciting 12 months at GV Health with the opening of our new Dialysis Unit and ongoing redevelopment works.

We recently held the official opening of our new redeveloped healthcare facility in Rushworth, Waranga Health, giving the Rushworth and surrounding communities an integrated facility offering a range of acute health, aged care and community health services.

We look forward to opening our newly extended Emergency Department in February, as work continues on our five-storey Inpatient Unit, which is due for completion in the middle of next year. Once our new Emergency Department is open, we will be refurbishing the current Emergency Department which, when open, will allow us to double our capacity of 18 treatment bays to 36. This will take approximately 12 months to complete.

GV Health is committed to continually improving community wellbeing through high-quality health services, outstanding care and learning and ensuring that we place people and their families who GV Health provide services for at the centre of everything we do.

A SPECIAL RUSHWORTH CHRISTMAS LOOKING for something different to do over the Christmas Holidays?

Why not take the time to look around your own region and visit Rushworth, a great little town full of gold rush history.

Rushworth has many quaint shops, an Ice Cream Shoppe with a large range of flavors to choose from, they also stock a great range of lollies, a Balloons and Stuff shop, which sell some amazing tin toys, a lovely café, a local Fish and Chippy, general businesses including an IGA, Perry’s butcher (famous for their home-made sausages and quality meats), gift and variety shop, which has a great range of products, a very helpful Mediconsul pharmacy and many other stores to explore.

You often see the smiling happy faces of residents from the Waranga Hostel, out on a walk or being taken for coffee and cake.

The town is on the edge of the Waranga Basin which is great for all sorts of water

Merry Christmas

sports especially boating and fishing.

It is a great place to take friends and family on the weekend or over the festive season.

There are many things to see, including the museum, Balaclava Mine or bush walking in Rushworth or Whroo State forests.

If you want to stay over, there is a caravan park on the Waranga Basin shore or motel accommodation in town, it would be best to book ahead to make sure of a vacancy as the town is very popular over the holidays.

And if you are looking for something special to do, The Criterion Hotel (the Top Pub) is having live entertainment on the December 19, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve (bookings essential), they also have great meals.

After a long time being shut it, is good to see that the Bottom Pub has been given a new lease on life and is now open again too.
