In addition to his school board experience, Cecil challenged then-Mayor Diane Hamre in 1997 and sought the Ward 4 seat in 2000, the same seat he is currently seeking. I have had the pleasure of working with Cecil on both his previous and current campaigns.

After a disappointing loss last game, the Leafs were ready to dominate the game.
