    Thank you for your leadership and strength of character while promoting our city to investors and planning for our future. When we moved to Pickering, I had no idea that I would be so informed in municipal politics and affairs. Thanks for promoting community engagement and professionally responding to controversial issues. I'm sure it wasn't an easy job managing all of our families' interests! Now you can enjoy a well deserved retirement, responsible now just for your own family who I am sure are so proud of you. Congratulations Mayor Ryan.

Your leadership has Pickering poised to be a leading jurisdiction within the GTA in driving our region forward towards a... Continue reading

    It is with sadness , knowing of your retirement but as I reflect back on the many years I have known you and Anne, I applaud you for the wonderful job you have done for our beautiful City. You have made an impact on so many lives. As a proud Rotarian, I was so pleased when our Club made you an honorary Rotarian. You always took the time to attend our Rotary events such as our cheque giving programs. I don't think you ever missed one. You will be missed. May you enjoy good health and sleeping in.
