Dear Demetrios:

I always have like XXXIInd Mayor Of Edmonton Janice (Jan) Rhea Reimer. As I've said here before, my father & I bid on a luncheon with Her Worship at The Westin Restaurant & a tour of some City offices & how things work from administrative standpoints for charity. Another time, I was seated next to her at The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, a hotel her predecessor Mayor Terry Cavanaugh was instrumental in preserving. She got curbside waste pickup put in place, making its pickup & separation from recycled good much more efficient. Also an Alderman beforehand, Jan is a solid performer & the first & only woman to be Mayor in Edmonton's history. She is also great at compassion for the downtrodden after having served ably as Executive Director of The Alberta Council Of Womens Shelters. It is appalling that we need such places in these modern times, but I cannot think of a better steward for the job than Jan was. Jan rightly criticized a sexual harassment settlement after a City employee resigned. She also cared very much for keeping the North Saskatchewan River & surrounding area safe so the water stayed potable. Overlooked is how important her work with The Alberta Council On Aging as seniors should be respected throughout their years.

Still Active & Serving In An Advisory Role To Her Successor At ACWS,

Rory
