Flags lowered at Town Hall to honour former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
We sadly acknowledge the passing of the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, former Prime Minister of Canada who died on Thursday, February 29, 2024, at the age of 84.
Mr. Mulroney served as Canada’s 18th Prime Minister from 1984 to 1993. During his nine years in office, he brought recognition to Canada on the international stage as he championed causes such as the fight against apartheid in South Africa, co-chaired the United Nations' World Summit for Children, and negotiated the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement in 1988.
Following his time in office, Mr. Mulroney returned to the legal profession, serving as a senior partner and international business consultant for nearly three decades.
Throughout his life, Mr. Mulroney received numerous honours and awards, including the Order of Canada, the Ordre national du Québec, and the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service. A globally respected and recognized leader, Mr. Mulroney was also awarded some of the highest recognitions from governments worldwide.
To pay tribute to Mr. Mulroney and his dedication to public service, the flags at Town Hall have been lowered to the half-mast position.
