It is with great sadness that the Municipality of North Grenville acknowledges the passing of Jean Hamlyn. Upon moving to Oxford-on-Rideau, Jean served with dedication and distinction as a Municipal Councillor, Deputy Reeve, and Reeve. In each of these roles, Jean was a tireless advocate for her community, demonstrating strong leadership and a deep commitment to improving the lives of residents across Oxford-on-Rideau and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Her contributions during her tenure on council had a lasting impact on local governance, shaping the community for years to come.

Jean’s vibrant personality, marked by wit and humor, endeared her to all who knew her. She will be fondly remembered for her service, her unwavering dedication to her community, and the warmth she brought to her many roles.

As a tribute to her legacy, flags at the Municipal Centre will be lowered to half-mast.

Our thoughts are with Jean’s family and all who mourn her loss.
