One of Delia’s most dedicated residents was recently awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Gord Isaac, who served as Mayor of Delia for four years and as councillor for one year, was awarded the medal by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).
“The Federation of Canadian Municipalities selected (Isaac)...in honour of the contributions made to your community and all of Canada,” read the award letter from the president of the FCM, Karen Leibovici.
“Your peers in local government across the country admire your accomplishments as a community leader and congratulate you on earning this prestigious award.”
During his time on Delia Council, Isaac helped guide the village through some of its largest projects, including a reorganization of the Village’s administration and bringing reliable drinking water to Delia.
He resigned his seat on Council in August, 2012, to concentrate on his health.
Prior to his time in Delia, Isaac served as a school board trustee for Willow Creek School Division for eight years, four as chair. He also served as a Town Councillor in Claresholm for three years.
During his time on the Delia Village Council, he was praised for the leadership and experience he brought to the community.
