I had the good fortune to meet Michael years ago when a family member needed the services of the Waldorf residence where he is the Director General - he was professional and empathetic and very kindly helpful. I am a lifelong Hampstead resident of 67+ years, and can say Michael stands out for his courteous, unpretentious, fair-minded manner and as well as his dedication and service par excellence to the town and its residents! This is NOT a paid commercial but is a genuine and deserved testimonial which comes from my head and my heart. Thanks for all you continue to do Michael, and good luck, you deserve to be re-elected!"

Michael's approach of consultation and cooperation can only lead to improving the relationship between Hampstead and Montreal and improving the quality of life of residents of both municipalities."

- Deborah Granatstein & Howard Szalavetz, Eton Crescent

"Michael has the Hampstead residents best interest in mind.  He has a full time job as the director of Waldorf seniors home in in Cote St Luc but you would think he is 100% Hampstead after talking to him.  No detail is to large or too small and the town would be at a huge loss without him.  Seeing how this is a municipal election with only a few thousand voters, every vote counts, so please go vote for Michael Goldwax.
