Letters to the editor...Outgoing regional chair offers her thanks

Dear fellow Halton residents, Although I am stepping down from this political office, I am not stepping away from being a proud Halton resident! I have often said that ours is a community with an exceptional quality of life-- one that is envied the world over. It has been my pleasure and my privilege to have served as your Regional Chairman for the past 12 years. I have never felt that this was a job; rather, I felt it was a calling. If I have achieved success at all during my terms in office, it is not because of any one thing that I have done. Rather, I have been fortunate to have had the support of a great many people to uphold the programs, policies and the intrinsic values that make our Halton community such a great place to live. Our residents are served by a dedicated and professional Halton staff and I know that this commitment and customer service will continue. Thank you to the staff both past and present, the community leaders with whom I have worked, my fellow council colleagues and to the residents and business associates who together, have contributed to building our `healthy Halton'. Joyce Savoline, Former Halton Regional Chairman
