July 17, 2003

Cargill AgHorizons is honored to join the Town of Essex Mural Committee in a mural dedication ceremony in loving memory of Joan Flood, a former mayor of Essex and Cargill AgHorizons employee.

The event will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday July 20, 2003 in front of the 50-foot mural entitled, “A New Era” on Irwin Ave. in Essex, Ontario. A reception is to follow at the Historical Essex Railway Station.

“Throughout her career with Cargill AgHorizons and during her time as mayor of Essex, Joan was a tireless supporter of the community. She was active in encouraging young people, especially women, to strive for their dreams. This memorial is a celebration of Joan’s life and family and will serve as a reminder of her many contributions,” said Philip Szalich, Cargill AgHorizon’s farm service group manager and former colleague of Flood’s.
