Nigel Kean is three times an also ran candidate for the Office of Mayor.
Twice he was elected to the office of Councillor and had six years to demonstrate his character, competence and suitability to hold the Office of First Citizen of the Town of Aurora.
He never reached his goal.
The names of the Fallen of the First World War from King, Whitchurch and Aurora are embedded in lead in the granite of the front panel of the War Memorial.
The names of the Fallen from the Second World War are chiselled into a granite slab on the Altar of Sacrifice.
No honor can be added to their names. In death, in whatever horrendous circumstances they endured, they earned the utmost respect of a grateful nation.
Nigel Kean can add nothing to the honour for which they paid the price.
They never came home.
We know not where they lie.
We shall not forget.
The effort to exploit their memory for his political advantage, is a telling trait which no doubt contributed to his failure to achieve the honour he aspired of being elected to the Office of Mayor of the Town of Aurora.
If Yonge Street was to be re-named Nigel Kean Street from Lake Ontario to the North Pole, it would avail him nothing.

Evelyn, your constant mis-spelling of Nigel's lastname is an offence to him and his family.
I agree with your sentiments but there is no need to insult the person by mis-spelling the name.
There is no "E" on the end of it.
WTF , is that comment. Try as I might can't seem to find the "E" that's so offensive , your reader must be drinking the same Kool-Aid as Nigel
Nary a truer word was spoken Councilor , but don’t expect it to sink in too deep, It's a bit like that Granit and Lead you spoke of. Between the lead, the rock and Kean it’s a tossup on what’s most dense, I'll put my money on Kean every time!!!!
To Anonymous:
Where is is name misspelled? I don't see it.
She fixed it and then posted the comment. In true fashion, she never admits that she was wrong.
