The Town of Goderich has announced the death of Mayor Myles Murdock.
Murdock served two terms as Councillor (2006-2010 and 2014-2018) and one term as Deputy Mayor (2018-2022).
He was elected Mayor in October 2022.
Murdock’s death comes just one year after the death of Goderich’s late Mayor John Grace, who died in a boating accident in northern Ontario.
Deputy Mayor Trevor Bazinet says his relationship with Murdock extends to his childhood.
“He was a mentor to me ever since high school,” Bazinet tells Country 104.9 News.
“He coached me basketball in high school, and he was that one council member that always made time for me, to answer any of my questions.”
Bazinet will immediately move into the role of Acting Mayor, until the next meeting of town council, where council is expected to formally promote him to the role of Goderich Mayor.
