A moment of silent reflection was observed in memory of a former local councillor at the start of the July 12 Mapleton 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.
