If you walked around downtown Âé¶¹AV on Saturday and noticed the flags at City Hall standing at half mast, there’s a good reason for it.
The celebration of life for former Âé¶¹AV council member and Âé¶¹AV-Lake Country MLA Al Horning was held on Saturday, June 10. The flags were at half mast to honour the 83-year old who died on March 23 of this year.
Raised in Âé¶¹AV, Horning was elected to Âé¶¹AV City Council in 1980 and stayed in that position until 1988. He was elected to the House of Commons that year.
In 2002, he returned to Âé¶¹AV City Council and three years later in 2005, he was elected the MLA for Âé¶¹AV-Lake Country.
