Irene was one of the
original members of a group
working to build housing for
senior citizens in the village,
and for the past two years has
been secretary of the Hensall
Senior Citizens Homes Incor-
porated, which recently
received its charter as a non-
profit organization.
Mrs. Davis reminds us that
1982 has been declared the
year of the senior citizen.
"Though I come into that
category I, like many senior
citizens, am not willing to sit
and let life and its activities
pass me by", Mrs. Davis said,
citing one of the reasons she
is entering the electoral race,
adding she has enough ambi-
tion, and energy and common
sense to work for the
residents and the village of
. Hensall.
Mrs. Davis refuses to make
any iron -clad pre-election
promises because "no matter
what council wants to do, it
has to be approved by county
council or regional or provin-
cial government" but pro-
mises to judge all decisions by
asking "is this beneficial for
Hensall or not".
She said she would like the
residents of Hensall to know
she will always make herself
available to anyone in need of
help and do her best to help
solve any genuine beef they
may have with council.
