Council candidate Sandy Santori, in his own words
The first question I should answer. Why did I choose to run for Council? When I made my intentions public, several people asked, “ARE YOU NUTS”? Yes I am.

OUT OF LEFT FIELD: A new (for me) and very personal take on Remembrance
It’s Remembrance Day. For me, that’s always been a sad, solemn day. But this year, everything has changed, for me, as I have this year lost people who completely deserve wreaths at the Cenotaph in their honour. Before this year, I remembered ideas, not real people.
