Hello, Hazel!


I love our Mayor!

Not to make this post sound like a grade six essay, but "Hurricane" Hazel McCallion kicks butt!

This woman is 89 years old and has been in office since....1978! No one will vote her out because she does such an amazing job. She literally wins every election by a landslide.

An 89 year old with the energy to run a city of well over 700,000 is a pretty big feat - but, since Hazel is a widow, she does everything on the home front for herself as well.

Not to mention that she was a professional hockey player in her youth and is still known to lace up her skates from time to time (sometimes warming up with the OHL's Mississauga St. Mike's Majors!)

I had the absolute pleasure of bumping into Hazel while out and about in Streetsville today - and on top of all of her accomplishments, and her busy schedule, she still makes time for her residents.

What a remarkable woman!

...If she ever comes out with a brand of energy drinks, I will buy a lifetime supply.


Love,


Michelle xxo
