I attended the monthly meeting of the Joint Council Committee of Fire Services this morning.
I went to a great party last night, in honour of Steve Hinder, Aurora resident and recipient of the Community Service Award from the Community Living Association.
"The award exemplifies the essence and spirit of a lifetime dedicated to making this world a better place to live ,for this and future generations. The award honours a commitment of volunteerism to the community by a person who has selflessly given of their time for the betterment of their fellow human beings, not for just a month or a year but over their lifetime."
The evening began at six o'clock. Two hundred and thirty people sat down to dinner at seven.
Speeches and presentations continued until eleven . Seated five hours on a hard surface.
Not a soul left the room. Everybody stayed until the end.
It truly was a tribute.

"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

There is scuttlebutt that Steve Hinder is going to run in this year's election. Was there any talk of that at the dinner, Cllr Buck?
p.s. I hope he does - we need a Council Cop.
Mr Hinder (respectly said) is a gem for Aurora .
Too bad The Mayor stooped so low when she kicked Santa off the X-mas float.
Was a sad day here in Aurora.
Ummm, there were a couple of departees. Her Highness and Clr. Al Wilson were seen attempting to work the room but slipped away quite early.
Perhaps there was a chill in the air even though it was still quite pleasant outside.
It was good to see Clr. Collins-Mrakas, Deputy Mayor McRoberts and you staying to recognize Steve for the tireless volunteer efforts he has made over the years.
It would be great to see Steve back on council.
Yep, we need a Council Cop.
