Memorial being discussed for mayor who passed away

Goderich Mayor Myles Murdock says council has formed a committee to look into a permanent memorial for past Mayor John Grace, who passed away in a drowning accident in August of 2022.

Murdock says a group of Goderich residents had asked the town to do something to recognize the contributions Grace had made to the community in his years of public service. Murdock says they did have a memorial service last September.

“But this is something of a more permanent nature. We appointed Liz Petrie to oversee that task force. I don't think it will take very long. We're looking for public input in terms of what they think would be appropriate," Murdock shared.

Grace served as a councillor and deputy mayor for 17 years before being elected mayor in 2018.
