Last night at City Hall, Mississauga citizens were recognized for their volunteer efforts on behalf of City Hall. Along with citizen members of many committees including Heritage, Adjustments, Cycling and others, the out-going board of the Port Credit Business Association received their recognition. Now this just means a certificate and a photo with the Mayor but it's really important to recognize the hard-working individuals who give up their "down time" unselfishly to make our home a better place to live, work and play.
The BIA board spends over 500 collective hours at board meetings. Additionally the special committees clock in about 300 hours. The Chair, Marion Klinnert, dedicates approximately 100 hours interacting with staff, 10 hours answering inquiries from the community and 25 hours meeting with suppliers, ad execs and the like. The Beautification Chair, Lydia Ordonez-Niles probably spends close to 75 hours dealing with contractors, reading tenders and reports and personally inspecting the Lakeshore. And there are more committees adding in many more hours.
BTW, those certificates are proudly displayed in their places of business so next time you see one - say "Thanks".
