Whereas the Mayor and Members of Clarington Council are deeply saddened at the death of Queen Elizabeth the II on September 8, 2022; And whereas Queen Elizabeth II served as the longest-serving monarch, the Queen’s dedication to and hard work on behalf of the people of the Commonwealth are unparalleled; And whereas Queen Elizabeth II is known as the most widely travelled monarch in the Commonwealth, visiting Canada during 22 official visits and Toronto seven times; And whereas the Queen is known for her steadfast commitment to duty and her people; and And whereas her work and support during some of the most difficult times in the last 70 years, including the Second World War, are renown; And whereas the Queen is the head of the Commonwealth, which consists of 54 nations; And whereas people around the world are mourning their matriarch with the Royal Family, in particular her four children, eight grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren; Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipal Clerk, on behalf of Clarington and the entire Council, be asked to convey an official letter of condolence to the Royal Family, Britain, and the Commonwealth for our collective loss of the Queen by way of the Governor General of Canada.
