Statement from Mayor Wade Mills and Shelburne Council Regarding the Passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Like many, I was saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Council and staff join people across the Country, throughout the Commonwealth, and around the world in mourning the loss of Canada’s Queen and commemorating her remarkable life. For many of us, we have known no other monarch, and the Queen served as a symbol of stability and constancy on the world stage over the course of her more than 70-year reign. In a world that is sadly too often devoid of these virtues, Queen Elizabeth II served as a model of dignity, honour and civility. On behalf of our community, I extend our collective condolences to the King and all members of the Royal Family. Flags at Town buildings will be lowered to half-mast during the period of mourning and a book of condolences is available online for residents to sign.
