Former Richmond Hill Mayor Russ Carpenter was honored with a casual buffet dinner hosted at the Ford Field & River Club on Tuesday night. 

The dinnertime occasion was held to commemorate Mayor Russ Carpenter’s 16 years of service to the City of Richmond Hill.

Notable guests included retired Richmond Hill Police Chief Mitch Shores, current Richmond Hill Mayor Kristi Cox, and Pembroke Mayor Tiffany Ziegler, who gave a speech and presented Carpenter with an award. 

Local Richmond Hill artist Chris Walker gifted Carpenter with a painting inspired by the former mayor's time in office, adorned with the catchy local slogan "Can't Beat The Hill."
