Cornwall Mayor Bob Kilger announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
He will start chemotherapy later this week at Ottawa’s Cancer Clinic and will in turn take a leave of absence from his duties as mayor. According to a release from the city of Cornwall, the prognosis for a positive recovery is “excellent”.
Kilger hopes to return to the job this fall. Members of Cornwall’s city council will serve as acting mayor for the time being.
