Vivian Bloom, MayorI was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario and moved with my family to Maynooth when I was ten. I attended Public Schools in Lake St Peter and Maynooth and completed High School in Bancroft. After working in Toronto for a year, I returned home and married my husband Donald. We were fortunate to be able to both find work here and raised our two daughters in Maynooth. After working in Scotiabank, I joined Canada Post in August 1975. I became Postmaster on April 1, 1985, and retire on July 12, 2011 after almost 36 years. Although the PO was in my parents home at one time, I was actually sworn in to work there almost 44 years ago! In 1980 I ran for Council in Bangor, Wicklow & McClure, topping the polls to become the first female Council Member of the Municipality. I was acclaimed my second term and served as a Councillor for a total of five years, then family and work intervened. As I looked at my coming retirement, I again decided to try and rejoin Council, and I thank the many people who supported and elected me as their Deputy Mayor and I have been appointed Mayor by Council in 2012. I am thoroughly going to enjoy my retirement, as I have more time to devote not only to Council duties, but more Community involvement and time with my family. |
