Tillsonburg Mayor John Lessif announces April 30 will be his last day in the position
Tillsonburg Mayor John Lessif has announced he will be stepping down from the position at the end of the month.
In a letter distributed to media late Friday, Lessif says after much deliberation he made the decision for personal reasons related to his family.
He goes on to say it was an honour and privilege to have served the Town and that he gave his best each day and has no regrets.
According to Town Clerk Donna Wilson this matter will be brought before Council on April 14th in order for Council to receive the letter and to declare the office to be vacant as of April 30, 2014.
