Mitzi Dean, MLA (Esquimalt-Metchosin) hosted her holiday season open house at her constituency office in View Royal on Monday, December 3.
The drop-gathering 4 to 6 pm during the peak of local commuter rush hour produced a modest turnout.

People mingled and enjoyed light refreshments.
Guests brought donations of non-perishable food items for the Esquimalt Neighbourhood House.
