	What is your current state of mind? Optimistic about the future of our community and our youth. What are the components of bliss? Appearing in front of Regional Council to report that we’re under budget. If you could invite anyone from history to dinner who would it be? Winston Churchill and Hazel McCallion…now that would be interesting. What’s the best piece of advice you were ever given, and from whom did you get it? My dad reminding me of a Mark Twain quote: “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” What is the one thing you’d change about yourself? My age. What is the most outrageous thing you’ve heard said about yourself? That I’m a good golfer. What would it take to make you go, WOW!? The federal government offering to pay a percentage of policing costs in Peel Region. Who are your real life heroes? Youth who overcome challenge and succeed to inspire others, former Premier Bill Davis, Regional Chair Emil Kolb and Hockey Legend (and Honourary Peel Police Chief) Johnny Bower.
