It is with great sadness that Warden, Council and Staff of the Municipality of St. Mary’s extend sympathy to the family of the late Deputy Warden Jacqueline Dort. Deputy Warden Dort began representing her continuants in the riding of District 6, Goshen and Area in May 2001 as Councillor. In 2016 Councillor Dort was nominated for Deputy Warden and accepted the position which she held for the past four years. She had been a strong voice and mentor at the council table for the past 19 years and will be greatly missed by all. At the next regular meeting of Council on Monday, August 10th, 2020 Council will recognize Deputy Warden Dort and her years of service with a moment of silence in her memory.
