Hazel McCallion is one amazing lady. When most 88-year-olds are quietly knitting or playing lawn bowls, she’s running Canada’s sixth largest city, Mississauga.
Hazel has been mayor of the Canadian city for the last 31 years. She’s won 11 elections, and outlasted eight Canadian presidents. But don’t even suggest that she’s over the hill.
Hazel’s track record speaks for itself. Her city is one of the few in the world to be debt free. In fact, it has a $700 million reserve. Her approval rating is a whopping 92%. But what’s not to love?
When she’s not looking after her people, Hazel loves to play ice hockey and ten-pin bowling.
What an inspirational lady!
