Hardest Working Mayor in North America

42,168 views

Hazel McCallion is a wonderful example of leadership for many reasons: she has been the mayor of Mississauga, Ontario for 30+ years, re-elected 10 times, and is responsible for a debt-free district while creating a vibrant downtown. She's done all this with great energy and enthusiasm while approaching 90 years old! Watch her interact with others and you'll find her smile to be contagious!

I'm sorry, I think she proved she was corrupt when she tried to hand her son $5million

I live in the city Hazel runs. She is simply amazing. We adore her here. She is an absolute force, and dedicated public servant. We are lucky to have her.

I would love her to be the Prime Minister of Canada. She has my vote

Although I think Hazel is inspiring, it should be noted that being elderly does not constitute being the hardest working mayor in North America. I personally know other mayors who have put many years of their lives (40+) into serving their community -- perhaps not the entire time as mayor, but definitely in the political arena. I think Hazel is amazing, but perhaps the title of the piece should not be quite so all-encompassing.

She's my hero!

A wonderful human being, an inspiration. who is making her community better and role modeling an alternative to focusing on the many losses that come with aging. A person who loves life.

Maybe there's still hope. Need our Mayors and Representatives to meet with her.

Super, super mayor, super grandma. We need thousands of your kind here in the Philippines.

What a blessing for the town of Mississaga! Hazel should be an example for all of us! I wonder if she's interested in coming to the USA and teaching what she has learned over these many years to our Senate, Congress and President? Now would be the time. THANK YOU HAZEL!
