A COMMUNITY initiative to help promote businesses, attractions and events in Musselburgh has taken a major step forward. A new website and Facebook page to highlight the enterprise, which is operating under the banner of ‘Love Musselburgh’, have now gone live. Launched by four local businesswomen – Sharon Brown, of Blueberry Gifts; Mhairri Duxburry, of Mint Fig; Terri Buzzeo, of Maison Macaron Home; and Jeanette Hamill, Hamill Decorating Services – alongside Melanie Roccio of the environment group Love Musselburgh CIC, are working together for “the good of the town”. Funding of more than £25,000 has been received for the initiative, which got off the ground after £14,300 was received from Musselburgh Area Partnership, £6,875 from East Lothian Council’s Covid-19 economic recovery support fund for towns and villages, and £5,000 from Scotland Loves Local – a national initiative designed to encourage people to think local and support their high streets safe
17 December 2020 - Wits University
Wits University has taken all graduation ceremonies online, following the President’s announcement on Monday night.
All the Faculty of Health Sciences graduation ceremonies that were scheduled to take place from 15 - 18 December 2020 are now being held virtually, followed by a separate online Hippocratic Oath Taking ceremony on Friday.
“We understand that many people are disappointed by our decision to cancel in-person graduations. We have explored multiple options, but if we went ahead with in-person graduations, we would be acting irresponsibly given the President’s request to avoid large gatherings,” explains Wits Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Adam Habib. We sympathise with the students who are graduating, and their families and friends, but given the historic moment in which we find ourselves, we cannot put more people at risk. As an institution, we have to act responsibly, within the law.”
