    ______________________________


    I am saddened to hear of the passing of Herb Epp. He was a proud and passionate voice for the people of Kitchener-Waterloo and his service as an elected representative did much to improve his community and his province.

    As a teacher and guidance counsellor, a member of the Ontario legislature and a three-term mayor of Waterloo, he dedicated himself to the betterment of people's lives. He was an important advocate for young people and contributed greatly to the development of his community.

    My thoughts are with his family and his community. He will be deeply missed, both within Kitchener-Waterloo and across Ontario.
