Starting tonight you will notice a blue light illuminating from the tower as a way to thank local front-line health care providers, emergency service personnel and other essential workers. 

TILLSONBURG - The Rotary Clock Tower in downtown Tillsonburg will be illuminating blue lights starting tonight.

This is being done to thank and acknowledge the tireless efforts of our local front-line health care providers, emergency service personnel and other essential workers. 

Mayor Stephen Molnar says the lights will be illuminated from dusk to dawn until further notice.

"We want to honour and recognize the local heroes who have made sacrifices on a daily basis over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. On behalf of Council and our entire corporate team, we are proud to light the clock tower in blue as a beacon of hope in this difficult time. It’s also a way to express the gratitude of a thankful community."

Molnar says this is just a small way to say thank you. 

"It shares a message that the entire community is supporting their efforts." 

He adds they want to encourage all local residents to share in the responsibility for a safe community by following all public health guidelines.

"The Province’s message is ‘Stay home. Stay safe. Save lives.’ As a community, we need to think of others and continue to make tough individual and collective sacrifices to help keep our
community safe." 

The Town will shine a light on the clock tower periodically. In November the tower changes to red to honour our veterans and fallen soldiers in November and is green and red during the Christmas holidays.
