Helen Cooper - Still passionate about the City!

Helen Cooper was first elected to municipal council in Kingston back in 1980.  Eight years later, she became the first woman to take on the job of Mayor.  This episode profiles life before politics, during her time around the municipal ‘horseshoe’, and positions she occupied post elected office.  Local government is obviously a very important part of community service, but volunteerism plays a critical role with almost every aspect of our society.  In addition to her career in politics,  Helen continues to contribute.
