Flags at half mast in memory of Bob Arsenault
It is with regret that we recognize the passing of former employee, Bob Arsenault.
Bob worked for the former Town of Springhill for 23 years and retired in 2012. According to those that worked with him, Bob liked being around people, enjoyed working for the Town, and was a real asset to work with. Bob was recently recognized by the Province of Nova Scotia for his quick thinking and timely response in evacuating close to 150 people when the roof of the old Springhill arena collapsed on February 1, 2001.
Flags at our Service Centres will be lowered out of respect for Bob and his family. Council and Staff express their sympathy to Bob’s family during this difficult time.
