I am so sorry to hear that Chris has passed away. Our deepest condolences to all her family. She was an incredible person!
I worked with Chris at the City of Waterloo for a number of years. She was always a dynamo walking around City Hall or in the arenas. Great to work with and very quick to give a cheerful greeting. She had this very genuine perpetual smile that made one feel better for our paths having crossed.
