A moment of silent reflection was observed in memory of a former local councillor at the start of the July 12 council meeting.
The late Jim Curry served on councils for the Township of Mapleton and former Village of Drayton for a total of 21 years. He passed away on July 3, less than 18 months after being diagnosed with ALS.
“I’m proud to say I did get to serve with Jim and he was a super guy who really cared about his family and his community,” said Mayor Neil Driscoll.
Curry, 63, was also a Rotary Club member and served on various committees at the Drayton Reformed Church, including mission work in Haiti.
