This week we lost 2 of the city’s greatest champions: Margaret Strongitharm and Gino Sedola.
Margaret’s gifts were many, but the one she is most remembered for is the Port Theatre. Gino was largely responsible for the reconfiguration of the downtown harbourfront into the parks and walkways that make it so attractive today.
It’s rare to find that kind of public servant today…and I use the word “servant” here deliberately…someone who is dedicated to their community and mindful of the responsibility that comes with such a role.
And that’s why this week’s loss is doubly sad.
