It is with great sadness

Weary is the Head that Wears the Crown It is with sinking hearts and low spirits that we announce the passing of George Paul Creighton on Sunday April 15th at St. Mary’s, with his daughter and family friends by his side. Predeceased by his wife Beverly in 2006, he will be very much missed by his daughter Amy (Edwin), his son Chris (Minako), his two grandchildren Yuki Leslie and Lexington, and his brother Jon (Carol). Well known as the man with the big white dogs, Paul was a feature in Westmount for many years. Father, grandfather and pet lover, he was a friend to many and a storyteller without peer. Born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan on Sept 5, 1937, Paul lived a life characterized by family, adventure, travel and challenges, most of which he was able to overcome with his characteristic wit and very dry humour.  A Man in His Castle Paul graduated from Waterloo Lutheran College with a B.A. in 1962, then joined the Department of External Affairs as a Foreign Service Officer, playing a key liaison role during the Dominican Republic Revolution in 1965. After another posting in East Africa, Paul moved his family back to Canada, settling in Westmount in 1973. More thanks than can be adequately expressed for the CCU team at the Montreal General and Dr Tremblay and the ICU nurses at St. Mary’s. A memorial service will be held at the Mount Royal Cemetery Complex (1297 Chemin de la Forêt, Outremont, H2V 2P9) on Thursday, April 26th, at 2 PM with reception to follow directly. I would be so pleased to see his friends and fellow dog lovers there.

Future of Dog Run - News to Come from Councillor Lulham

With the destruction of the arena inching ever closer, there is MAJOR  interest in what is going to happen with and to our dog run. Last week,  Councillor Lulham asked me to share contact info on dog run users so she could get in touch directly with news on what is going on and what is planned. After asking for permission, I have shared the email addresses for those persons willing to hear from her directly.

There is also a meeting planned for April 16th at 7 PM  by the WABA - Westmount Ankle Biter's Association - in the Reading Room at the Westmount Library on this subject.
