▶ 34:30 Shawn M. MacMaster: make the council aware as well as members of the public that the melrose veterans advisory board will be sponsoring its annual uh food drive between saturday november 7th and saturday November 14th. Donated items will be provided to local food pantries. You may remember that this is an annual event that we do in partnership with Shaw's. Historically we set up a tent outside of Shaw's and we collect food items throughout the weekend. In light of COVID we've had to do things a little bit differently so what we've done is scheduled it over the course of a full week. There will be items that are marked off throughout the aisles as being items that are needed by the food pantries. So members of the public can actually pick up those items as they shop or they can make a special trip to do it and there will be carriages set up in the front of Shaw's into which somebody can place their their donations after making a purchase. There There will also be a box located in city hall where the greater station is. So that's another opportunity for for us for city employees as well as members of the public who may be coming in during our limited hours at city hall. So, again, we would like a strong showing from the public this event coincides with that time of year where we remember veterans for veterans day. So, I would just ask that people donate what they can. If you have any questions, you can get in touch with me, or you can certainly contact Lieutenant Colonel Burke, our Veteran Services Officer at City Hall.

▶ 36:18 Jen Grigoraitis: Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Councillor McMaster. Any other reports under Rule 53?
