Speaker: Mark Gerretsen, Mayor, City of Kingston

Topic: "Kingston's Strategic Directions"

Mayor Mark Gerretsen, City of Kingston, is the Canadian Club of Kingston's speaker at its luncheon meeting on Wednesday, February 8.

Mark Gerretsen was elected the 95th mayor of the City of Kingston on October 25, 2010. He also serves on the boards of Kingston Hydro, Kingston Economic Development Corporation, and the Police Services Board. He was previously City Councillor for Portsmouth District, from 2006 to 2010.

He continues a distinguished family tradition in politics, as his father John Gerretsen had also served at City Hall first as Councillor then Mayor before being elected to the Ontario legislature to represent Kingston and the Islands.

A native of Kingston, Mark finished grade school at École Catholique Cathédrale in their French immersion program, graduated from Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School in 1994, and entered St. Lawrence College in their computer engineering program. After pursuing some private business interests, he enrolled at Queen's University and graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics.

The luncheon will be held at Minos Uptown Village Restaurant, 2762 Princess Street, Kingston. It will start with a cash bar at 11:30 a.m., followed by lunch at 12 noon.

The Canadian Club is an apolitical community-based organization that arranges monthly meetings at which distinguished speakers address its members on subjects of national or international significance. It typically meets on the second Wednesday of each month, from October to May. Each luncheon meeting features a speaker on a current topic of special interest to Canadians.

Members of the public are welcome. Cost of the luncheon is $24 for members and $30 for non-members. Reservation for the luncheon is required and can be made by telephoning the Minos Restaurant at 613 384-2021.

Please note that payment can be made only by cash or cheque (i.e. neither credit nor debit cards can be accepted).
