An Ottawa Tribute To Niagara, Ontario’s Peter Kormos
By Doug Draper
Peter Kormos, a former Ontario MPP for the Welland Riding and Niagara regional councillor for the same city, is still receiving tributes in official circles more than two weeks after his death this past Easter weekend at age 60.
Welland, Ontario federal representative Malcolm Allen
And while the federal level of government was the only one Peter Kormos never held a seat in during his decades-long service in politics, his spirit was in Canada’s federal legislature in Ottawa this Monday, April 15 as Welland MP, friend and NDP ally paid tribute to him during the first day of parliament since the Easter recess.
Allen eulogized Kormos as “a friend and champion of the little guy,” who fought tirelessly for “workers and the oppressed.” He credited him for his “political coverage” and “unwavering courage,” and ended by saying that “every community deserves a Peter Kormos.”
