Statement by Mayor Fred Eisenberger on the passing of long-time friend and advisor, Christopher Cutler

HAMILTON, ON – It is with profound sadness we learned of the passing of Christopher Cutler, a dear friend and Community Relations Advisor to Mayor Fred Eisenberger on Monday, February 7, 2022. 

At his core, Christopher cared deeply for the Hamilton community. A passionate disability justice advocate, avid Hamilton Rotary Club member and past president, past member of council in the former Town of Flamborough, board member of the St. Leonard’s Society of Canada, champion supporter of the Hamilton 2030 Commonwealth Games and community leader invested in driving forward meaningful change. Christopher was often found at the forefront of community-based initiatives, discussions, challenges and solutions. Recognizing the ever-changing landscape in Hamilton and the power of community, Christopher invested his talents to build trust and bridge gaps. His calm demeanour, willingness to listen and sincerity will be sorely missed.

We are keeping Christopher’s partner, Lan, his family and friends in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Further details around funeral arrangements and flag lowering honouring Christopher will be shared in an upcoming release.
