Now 88 years old, Hazel McCallion is an inspiration and proof positive that we are never too old to achieve our goals!
Hazel McCallion is the mayor of Mississauga Ontario, Canada’s sixth largest city. She has been the mayor of Mississauga for 31 years. Affectionately called “Hurricane Hazel”, at 85 years old, she was easily re-elected for her 11th consecutive term with a 92% majority of the votes. A Member of the Order of Canada, she is quite simply a remarkable woman.
A Canadian comedian, television personality & political satirist, Rick Mercer hosts the very successful and highly entertaining weekly CBC show, ‘The Rick Mercer Report’.
This short video clip is full of life and laughter. I really appreciate Rick Mercer’s work. I think you will too!

LOL! Those Canadian women, they just last forever. My granny’s turning 95 this summer and you’d better believe I’m flying out there (to Belleville) because she’d come and drag me by the ear if I didn’t bring her great-grandson to see his family!
This video of Mayor McCallion shows a woman who is absolutely amazing at such an advanced age.
Both she and Rick have made this wee film most entertaining and such fun.to watch.
Rick has shown her so full of energy, courage and knowledge to boot.
Obviously she is loved and appreciated by the citizens of Mississauga.
Bravo and keep on going ‘Hurricane Hazel ‘ ! ! You too Rick
