Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw the attention of this House to the passing of a fellow elected representative, Brian Ross. Brian served the citizens of Beaconsfield in my riding of Lac-Saint-Louis as the councillor for District 4. He was elected to city council in 2009. His election was a natural progression from his long-standing service as a well-known community volunteer.
In municipal government, Brian focused on public safety as a way of maintaining and enhancing the enviable quality of life of his city.
Brian was active in many of the organizations that serve to tie the residents of Beaconsfield together as a community, including the Lakeshore Soccer Association, Beacon Hill Pool and Toastmasters.
Brian’s passing was far too early. It deprived our community of a caring, civic-minded and enthusiastic public servant and his family and friends of an infectiously positive spirit.
Allow me to express our heartfelt condolences to Brian’s wife Shirley, his daughters Michelle and Christine, his parents William and Joyce and his brothers Fraser, Greg and Michael.
