The Town of Whitby has set flags at all Town facilities at half-staff to honour the passing of former Mayor Jim Gartshoreat age 90 on June 19. He began his municipal career as a Town Councillor, serving from 1972 to 1975, and was mayor from 1975 until 1980. "Jim was a great leader who cared deeply about our Town and its residents" reflected Mayor Mitchell. "Both as a Councillor and Mayor, he made a number of important and positive contributions to our community. Our deepest condolences go to Jim's family and loved ones." As mayor, he initiated and completed a number of major facility and infrastructure Projects, including the opening of the Whitby Operations Centre; the Whitby Seniors' Activity Centre and Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village; the establishment of the Port Whitby Marina and Harbour; the relocation of the Whitby Public Library; the introduction of a new water plant; the creation of Rotary Centennial Park; and the development of the Brock Street bridge. Gartshore also oversaw the opening of the new Town Hall building at 575 RosslandRoad East in 1977, making him the first mayor to serve in the new building. He also championed local support for community projects and was made a lifetime member of the Whitby Kinsmen Club, formerly serving as club president and district governor.
