Diane Therrien is returning to her duties as Mayor of Peterborough.
“Based on advice from my doctor, I am returning to work part time this week, and will be back full time next week,” Therrien wrote in an update posted on Twitter on Wednesday (March 9).
On February 14, she had announced she was temporarily stepping away from her duties for health reasons.
At the time, she asked councillor and deputy mayor Andrew Beamer to act on her behalf.
“I want to thank Acting Mayor Beamer and Deputy Mayor Akapo for filling in for me the last few weeks, and all of council for their ongoing work for our community,” Therrien wrote.
Therrien also thanked everyone who sent her “well wishes and support.”
“We live in strange, trying times,” she wrote. “Take care of yourselves, and be kind — to yourself and others.”
