CHAMBER DEDICATES BENCH TO MAYOR MACISAAC

 

 

Chamber of Commerce dedicates a bench to Mayor Rob MacIsaac

On November 29, 2006, the Boards of the Chamber of Commerce and The Carpenter Hospice, along with staff and guests gathered at The Carpenter Hospice to take part in a special ceremony.  In recognition of Mayor MacIsaac's long service to the City, the Chamber of Commerce dedicated a bench in his name. The bench was placed near the pond at The Carpenter Hospice, one of the Mayor's favourite community organizations.

 

In dedicating the bench, Board Chair John Doyle thanked Mayor MacIsaac for the work he has done with the Chamber over the years.  He also thanked him for the work he has done to make the City of Burlington a better place to live and work.  John said the bench was placed at the hospice because it will have permanence, is in a facility that the mayor helped to create and is in a spot "much like Rob; it's quiet and unassuming and is very much appreciated."  Michael Schwenger, Chair of the Board of The Carpenter Hospice thanked the Mayor for his commitment and dedication in creating The Carpenter Hospice.

 

Mayor MacIsaac thanked the Chamber for the "very thoughtful dedication" and was especially pleased that the Chamber had chosen The Carpenter Hospice as the location.  He pointed out that he was particularly proud of helping to make the hospice a reality and it is an excellent example of what a mayor can to do make a difference in a community.
