Changing of the guard

If you have raised children in Sandy Hill over the last 18 years, chances are you know of or have heard of “Big Mac.” Derek McDonald (left) was the City of Ottawa supervisor of the Sandy Hill and Routhier Community Centres, but as of December has been reassigned to other centres. In his recent message to community partners announcing his departure, Derek shared: “After 18 years it’s safe to say that the two sites have become second homes to me.” We bid a fond farewell and good luck to Big Mac and we welcome his replacement, Ken Guérin, a.k.a. “T-Bone” (right), who quite literally has big shoes to fill!
