“We not only survived, we thrived”: Interview with Mayor of the North Dumfries Sue Foxton

On April 17, Horizon Weekly Senior Correspondent Nazeeg Haneshian had a virtual interview with Her Worship Sue Foxton, Mayor of the North Dumfries Township, Ontario. Mayor Sue (Sahagian) Foxton also serves on the Pandemic Committee for the Region and Emergency Operations Center for North Dumfries.  In the interview she emphasizes the significance of getting through this as a community. She also shared her message for April 24th, as we approach the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide. “We not only survived, we thrived and we will continue to do so.”

After the Armenian Genocide, her grandparents (from Galt and Brantford) played an active role in welcoming those who escaped the Armenian Genocide, into their homes.
