Tay Township mourns passing of Deputy Mayor Jim Crawford

“We are deeply saddened by the terrible news,” said Mayor Ted Walker. “On behalf of Council, staff and Tay residents, I extend our condolences, thoughts and prayers to Jim’s family and the love of his life Lillian.”

Jim Crawford was first elected as a member of Tay Township Council for the 2014 to 2018 term as Councillor in ward one. Jim was re-elected as Deputy Mayor in October and was officially sworn in on December 6.

Flags at the Municipal Office have been lowered to half-mast in tribute to Jim’s service to his community.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Oakwood Community Centre (290 Park Street, Victoria Harbour) on Saturday, December 22 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with a formal presentation at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
