"I want to express my sincere appreciation to the following people of the community who have offered me their support and encouragement as I seek to become the Mayor of the City of Greater Sudbury."  Louise B. Portelance
   
"It has been my privilege to know and work with Louise for the past three years, in her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors of the Children's Aid Society of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin.  I have been immensely impressed with her strong sense of commitment for doing what is right for children and families in this area.  Furthermore, she is very passionate about her beliefs and has been a very strong advocate for her constituents.  I remain confident that Louise Portelance would be an ideal Mayor for the City of Greater Sudbury."

"Having known Louise Portelance and sitting with Louise on several Boards of Directors, I've had the opportunity of seeing how well Louise manages her small business as well as her Board operations as President.  Her dedication, hard work and knowledge will assist her as Mayor of our city.  Louise being fully Bilingual, experienced, and a successful business woman can only behoove the Greater City of Sudbury."

"In  my  role as Director of Services of CAS, I have had an association with Louise for  a number of years.  This association role has been while  Ms.  Portelance  was Chair of the Children's Services Cooperative as well  as  her  recent  tenure  as  Chair  in  leading  the  creation of the Children's  Community  Network.   As  well,  Ms.  Portelance has served and continues  to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Children's Aid Society of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin.  In my opinion, she has  proven to be a dynamic advocate on behalf of our community's children. She  is  articulate,  astute  and  forthright  in  dealing  with issues and individuals.   Louise  is  highly  principled  and  follows  through on any commitments  and  endeavours that she undertakes.  As Mayor for the Greater City  of  Sudbury,  the needs of our community under her direction would be addressed at all levels."

I wish to thank you for the privilege and honor of  writing a testimonial for Deputy Mayor Louise Portelance .

I admire Louise for her willingness to put her name in the ring to run for mayor of the City of Greater Sudbury. I have  been acquainted with Louise for approximately three years. As a Board member of the Children's Aid Society, Louise has always been very voicefull in her approach to issues that concern children in our community.

Louise Knows how to get the job done, she is not afraid to tackle issues that affect our city and its people .

When Louise undertakes important projects she completes them with excellence.I have know Louise to be more than honest in all of her dealings at city level. As a councillor on municipal affairs, I have observed Louise to always mean what she says and follows through with a great deal of tact.

I am very confident that when Louise becomes mayor  of the Greater City of Sudbury she will have the presents of mind and energy to do what is needed to make Sudbury a better place to live and work.
     
I strongly endorse my vote for Louise Portelance on November 10th /03.

Respectfully Submitted
