Yesterday I learned that I lost one of the first people that I met with the City. She was all that she could be looking after Winterfest at the Chedoke and Kings Forest Ski Hills. Corky always had a smile, was always willing to listen. When I started working with the City, she ended up being our manager. I remember the day she gave me my 5 year pin for the City. She looked at me puzzled and asked me if that was correct. I said with a smile, ' 5 years , 10 years, what's the difference when I work with great people." We will always remember you Corky.
Rest in Peace.

The world is a little less happier for me without Corky. She always had a moment to stop and talk to me. We celebrated many events within our event circle family. I will truly miss Cork!
