Statement from Mayor Rob Burton on the passing of Councillor Marc Grant

I am saddened to share the news of the death of Ward 5 Town Councillor Marc Reyer Grant - a trusted friend and colleague - who passed away on Monday, July 27, after a sudden illness.

On behalf of Oakville Town Council and everyone who serves this community, I extend condolences to Marc's family and friends. 

Marc gave Oakville 23 years of service since 2003 as Ward 5's elected representative. He was a champion of transit, parks, and public gathering spaces, a voice on poverty and food security. 

We all benefitted from Marc's service to our town.
