BURLINGTON, ON
A Gazette reader called the Office of the Mayor to follow up on an issue that the Mayor had expressed some interest in – but was told that the Mayor would not be making appointments for two weeks.
We popped a note off the Mayors Communications person asking if the Mayor was taking some vacation; the Mayor’s Office sent our note along to the city administrations Communications department who said the following.
“The mayor will have some upcoming hours/days off but continues to work on all emergency related and time sensitive matters.
“The deputy mayor schedule is published, and we have two deputies serving whenever the mayor is not available.
Q3 deputy mayors are Councillors Nisan and Sharman.
Mayor Meed Ward is not in quarantine.
So there you have it – the Mayor is healthy and apparently taking a break.
She has been working very hard.. just like any person who works for the city.. and any high demanding job.. People need a BREAK!!! let her rest!!!! i have a sister who works for an architect company.. since this Covid started she has been working from home.. She has been working more hours from home then when she was working in the office.. Her office is downtown Toronto and she live in the GTA! She works 12 hour days!!! Please let the government employees rest and regroup.. they need family time as well.. peace out
And that’s “News”!? Like any employee she is entitled to a vacation.
