Waterloo Mayor Dave Jaworsky held his New Year’s Levee at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex. The day began with skating and swimming, and then continued with some sweet treats, activities and performers.
There was also plenty of holiday cheer at Cambridge City Hall. Mayor Doug Craig and council members hosted a fun and festive event featuring a family photo booth, face painting and craft zone.
