An attempt by the Coalition for Unity, Respect and Equality for All (CUREA) to block Glen Grant from succeeding Sen. Bernadette Clement as mayor fell flat on its face, as it should have.
Grant, the group charged, is a poor example of leadership when it comes to the diversity file; he was painted as a poor fit to fill the mayoral vacancy left by Clement’s departure. Based on some weak arguments, he scored a D-minus on the organization’s diversity scorecard.

Six officers from the Welwyn Hatfield Safer Neighbourhood Team have received a Royal Humane Society Award after they saved a man’s life in Welwyn Garden City.
On the afternoon of Friday, March 20, 2020, police received a call from a member of the public who had found a man lying in the service road behind Wigmores North.
She stated that the man was struggling to breathe.
“I was very pleased to hear that Sophy would be receiving the award, he said.
She found herself in a serious and potentially traumatic situation, but stayed calm and reacted by starting CPR and telling others to call for an ambulance. Her actions may well have saved the gentleman’s life and from speaking to him afterwards, I know he is immensely grateful.”
Michelle Webster, home manager at Cedrus House, added: “We are incredibly proud of Sophy’s brave response, and her ability to think clearly in such a challenging and unprecedented situation.
“Being trained in basic life support is an invaluable skill, both in and outside of work, which is why each member of the team at Cedrus House has the opportunity to be trained, no matter their job role.
