Campaign Life Coalition has learned that Mr. Tom Wappel, MP for Scarborough Southwest is to announce his retirement today after honourably representing his riding for eighteen years and through six Federal elections.

“Tom Wappel is a man of great integrity and deserves the appreciation of the constituents whom he served for so long and so well,” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). “He has been an outstanding and courageous champion of life throughout his career. He will be greatly missed by everyone who has had the privilege of working with him,” he continued.

Mr. Wappel was a recipient of the Joseph P. Borowski Award in 1998. This award is given by Campaign Life Coalition to an MP in recognition of their integrity, courage and leadership in defending life and family in the public square. “Tom Wappel was a most worthy recipient of this award,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition. “Throughout his career, he has provided both leadership and direction to a government very much in need of such clear thinking on the life issues that matter most to Canadians.”
