For the 2nd time this year, a member of Callander Council has passed away.

Councillor Maurice Turgeon has died.

Mayor Rob Noon says it has been an honour to work with and learn from Maurice over the past 16 years.

He says he had a great sense of humor and was always there to help anyone in time of need and everyone in the municipality will miss his energy, and thoughtful input around the Council table.

Noon says Councillor Turgeon truly made Callander better and was a champion of the community.

Earlier this year, the Mayor Hec Lavigne passed away.
