Mary Pitt
Mary Pitt is a lifelong community leader who served as the last Mayor (1997 to 2000) and the only female Mayor of the former City of Nepean. Since the end of her term as Mayor she has volunteered with several local organizations such as the Queensway-Carleton Hospital’s Foundation, the Ottawa Convention Centre, Villa Marconi Long-Term Care Centre, the Nepean Museum and the Nepean Chamber of Commerce.
She has worked tirelessly to strengthen Nepean as a place of business and a wonderful place to live and raise a family. In her honour, the City facility located at 100 Constellation Crescent was officially named Mary Pitt Centre. This Centre is home to several City departments and the municipal Provincial Offences Court. It is next door to the former Nepean City Hall, now known as Ben Franklin Place, named after the late Nepean Mayor for whom Mary worked for several years as a senior aide.
