The township of Dorion is in mourning after the sudden passing of the community's Reeve.
Linda Tolmonen,62, died Tuesday after what has been described as a brief illness.
Tolmonen grew up in Dorion and began serving as reeve in 2006 following several terms as a councillor. Acting reeve Ed Chambers said the community is in "absolute shock," adding that Tolmonen will be deeply missed.
Funeral arrangements are currently being made and Chambers said they'll wait until later to decide how to fill the vacant position on Dorion council.
But, he added, the popular reeve left big shoes to fill.
