It has been a pleasure
by Volker Greimann Dec. 4, 2015

Dec. 4, 2015

Dear fellow councilors, all things come to an end! With the end of last weeks council session our term as wardens of the vacant throne/co-chairs ended as well. We would like to welcome Donna Austin and Heather Forrest as new Vice Chairs as in accordance with their respective selections by their houses they have been selected to take over this role at this point. It has been an absolute pleasure and joy to co-lead the council for the past month and we wish both the next chair and the new vice chairs the best success. It is a tough job, but also very rewarding, and the stellar assistance from staff makes it even better. As for us, we will return to our regular position as councilors and are looking forward to continue working (and arguing, if necessary) with all of you. Thank you, David Cake and Volker Greimann
