It is with sadness we record the recent passing of Peter Woods.  Peter was a long-time member and supporter of our society

He joined Concord Council in 1977 and served for a total of 26 years, including 10 years as Mayor, remaining with the City of Canada Bay for a term following the amalgamation of Drummoyne and Concord Councils.

He was a tireless and lifelong champion for local causes in our area. One of his greatest achievements was foreshore access for all.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to his wife Joyce, daughter Rebecca and grandson Archie.

When maturity came through we started to collect.Some we threw away later, the special ones we kept.And as the years went…
