TOMORROW on TDMS: A Radio Host & A Pastor Walk Into A Book... faithbooks.ca “Hurricane” Hazel McCallion – One of Canadas Longest Serving Mayors, Author of Hurricane Hazel: A Life With Purpose Throughout her ground-breaking career in business and politics, Hurricane Hazel McCallion has seen it all. In 1978, she defeated a popular incumbent to win election as mayor of Mississauga, a rising city near Toronto that was, until then, a collection of towns, villages and farms. No one would have foreseen that the indomitable Hurricane Hazel would become so wildly popular that she would remain mayor until 2014, retiring at age 93. In her memoir, McCallion writes about her early years as the feisty mayor of a growing city; battles with politicians and business leaders; her love of hockey and abhorrence of on-ice violence; where the feminist movement misses its mark; and how she watched and dealt with her beloved husbands fall into the grip of Alzheimers. Hazels run as the leader of one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada has been nothing short of remarkable. The book is the story of Hazels political, personal and business life, with all of its bumps and bruises along the way, as honest, bold and straightforward as the woman herself. *Co-Hosting this faithbooks.ca interview is Doug Rhind from porticocanada.ca
