Information provided by SDG Counties.
We learned today of the passing of Guy Lauzon. Guy was a remarkable man. He was the Member of Parliament for the riding of Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry from 2004 to 2019 as a member of the Conservative Party.
On behalf of SDG Counties staff and Council, I extend our deepest condolences to the Lauzon family and to all those who worked with Guy through his lengthy career of public service. Guy's dedication to his constituency of Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry was unwavering. From securing 217 Service Canada call centre jobs for Cornwall in 2009, to championing revitalization on main streets in places like Martintown, Guy supported the construction of new playgrounds, outdoor rinks, bridge repairs and community halls throughout SDG Counties. His work is visible in every corner of our community. Guy understood that infrastructure and grassroots beautification weren't mutually exclusive and that they fostered both economic growth and civic pride.
Guy was also a mentor, he inspired many others to follow into public service. His leadership was not about personal accolades but about showing others how to serve.
Guy is predeceased by his beloved wife Frances.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the Lauzon family and to the countless others he helped from across the grassroots political spectrum he helped to foster.
