Message From Ontario District's PSP's

~ Please read/share the follow message ~
Although recent events have had a major impact upon our manner of living, it is essential that we accept that is beyond our control, that we make the best of the many situations we are now facing, and that we remain optimistic. It is important that we do so for our families, our neighbors and co workers and in actuality, all with whom we interact. Don’t know who said it first, but in the face of adversity, it is important to recall the saying, “This too shall pass.”
