A Global Humanitarian for the People of Melford
Today, at Melford Central Library, Ms. Margaret Hurtubise, Deputy Director of Security, released the following brief and comprehensive statement:
“As a proud public servant, I wish to respond openly to certain questions that were asked at a recent Town Council Meeting.
“I have had a wide-ranging career that has brought me employment in various parts of the world. From 1987 to 1996, I was employed by a non-profit educational foundation in a variety of administrative capacities, supervising humanitarian aide programs. This was a rewarding experience that continues to inform my work today.
“At no time did I hold any contract, or have any other business dealings with the Government of Syria or any of its recognized agencies. I did however travel extensively throughout Syria as part of my humanitarian work. It was a great honor to bring humanitarian assistance to many needy children in that country.
“I was indeed a resident for some time at a Saudi apartment complex named the Khobar Towers, courtesy of a joint Canada-U.S. humanitarian aide program. Like many who stayed there at the time, I was deeply saddened by the loss of life that occurred in June, 1996. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to continue my humanitarian work in this troubled region of the world.
“I have been employed as DDS at the Library since the fall of 1996 and have found the experience with the townspeople profoundly rewarding. Going forward, I will be happy to entertain any questions concerning the Library’s programs and its many successes.”
