Our Thanks To Pam Madoff ... Past NJNA Council Liaison

Pat ... Thank you for all of your hard work on behalf of NJNA and all of the people of Victoria.  We hope that you will return and we look forward to doing great things with you in the future.

Sheena ... Our community association and Land Use Committee have benefitted tremendously from Pam Madoff's advice and assistance as our Council Liaison.  Pam is friendly, approachable and an incredible source of knowledge about all things to do with the City - land use, heritage planning and Arts and Culture.  Her wisdom and guidance in helping shape the City's growth will be sorely missed.  I sincerely hope she can find a new niche for her talents where she can once again help our City to flourish in ways we all benefit from.  Thank you so much, Pam.

Jean ... Pam has served as the Councillor Neighbourhood Liaison to the North Jubilee Neighbourhood Association for more than one term with her last one ending due to the recent elections.  She fulfilled her role and responsibilities as our Councillor Liaison with integrity and was always available for Community and CALUC Meetings, and for coffee chats with Board or Land Use Committee members to assist us in better serving our community.  She prepared reports for our Newsletter, directed residents to City staff in order to obtain the assistance they required and she was also a participating member of the RJH Neighbourhood Committee while it was working on the RJH Master Campus Plan and the Patient Care Centre.  As Begbie Hall is a National Historic Site, it garnered Pam's particular interest. Pam was also the Liaison for South Jubilee and our neighbourhoods will miss Pam's guidance as the new Jubilee Neighbourhood Plan evolves due to her first-hand knowledge of our community and its history.  We also received her notice when topics were on various agendas at City Hall that could directly affect North Jubilee. 

Thanks, Pam, very much for all your time, effort and concern that was offered to our community over the years in such an easy manner ... I did want to let you know how much it was appreciated ... you will be missed.
