Tributes are continuing to pour in following the death of Ann Farquharson.
The longtime lawyer, volunteer and community builder died at her home over the weekend at the age of 68.
The city has announced it has lowered its flag to half mast in recognition of Farquharson, who also served on city council representing Town Ward from 2006 to 2010.
Mayor Jeff Leal released the following statement:
“I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ann Farquharson, a former City Councillor and a dedicated advocate for our community. Ann served the people of Peterborough with integrity and an unwavering commitment to making life better for others. Her leadership, her thoughtful voice at the Council table, and her years of service left a meaningful and lasting impact on our city.
Beyond her time as an elected official, Ann was an active and passionate community supporter, always working to strengthen the places and organizations she cared about. She will be remembered for her generosity, her spirit, and her steadfast belief in building a stronger Peterborough.
On behalf of City Council and the residents of our community, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Ann’s family, friends, and all who were touched by her remarkable life and contributions.”
