Oakville Mourns Loss of Dedicated Councillor | Toronto News

Oakville is in deep mourning after the sudden passing of longtime Councillor Marc Grant, who died Monday after a brief illness. Elected in 2003 and serving Ward Five for 23 years, Grant was a tireless advocate for transit, parks, food security, and the vulnerable. Before politics, he brought his sharp wit and strategic mind from CBC and political consulting, becoming a beloved fixture in Oakville’s civic life. Colleagues like Jeff Knoll called him a best friend and a master of humor who could turn any room around — and both men shared a lifelong commitment to their community. In honor of his legacy, all municipal flags will fly at half-mast until his memorial. Grant’s impact on public spaces and his unwavering dedication to those in need will be deeply missed.
