That the Parliament notes that, throughout 2025, Glasgow will mark its 850th anniversary, which will be celebrated around the world by fellow Glaswegians and marked by the city itself with various events, including an extensive programme of community-based activities, aimed at celebrating the city’s past, present and future though various mediums, including inviting people at home and abroad to share their memories of and hopes for their beloved city; notes that a special programme to recruit volunteers will take place, providing people with the unique opportunity to represent the city that they and their families call home, alongside, as part of the celebrations, a focus on the invaluable role that community councils play by creating a platform for all its citizens to stage and host their own events as part of Glasgow 850, and encourages everyone in Glasgow, the West of, and indeed across Scotland, to get involved and celebrate what it believes makes Glasgow, its people and its future great.
