The flags at all municipal facilities have been lowered on Friday, March 1, 2024, to honour the death of Canada’s 18th prime minister, Brian Mulroney. He was 84.
“We remember a leader and statesman, one of Canada’s most prominent political figures, whose decisions as prime minister continue to have profound impact on our country,” says Mayor Michelle Boileau. “Mulroney was a visionary who believed that Canada could lead on climate change, reform trade, strengthen global relations, and champion human rights, at the time against apartheid in South Africa.
“The world will look back on his legacy over the coming days, on his commitment to public office, and the tough decisions he made to lead Canada forward. On behalf of the City of Timmins, I offer sincere condolences to the Mulroney family at this difficult time.” ~ Mayor Michelle Boileau
Flags will remain at half-mast until sunset on the day of the memorial service.
