Richmond Hill Councillor wants council to rescind Mayor's extended medical leave of absence

Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow was pictured having breakfast with his wife at a local restaurant and "looked in fine health" so now Councillor Tom Muench wants council to rescind the Mayor's extended medical leave effective June 23rd.

Richmond Hill Councillor wants council to rescind Mayor's extended medical leave of absence

It seems morally wrong for anyone to arbitrarily decide that Mayor Barrow's medical leave should be rescinded based on how he looked especially after the mayor stated in an email to council that he is still receiving medical treatments.


Anyone who has or is battling an illness knows that "looks" can be deceiving. There are good days and bad days.


June 11th must have been a good day for Mayor Barrow and he was out with his wife enjoying and appreciating life as he, like anyone else, is entitled to do.


Only Mayor Barrow and his doctors can and should determine when he is ready to go back to work not a Ward 2 Richmond Hill Councillor and his friends on council.
