A well-known labour activist, President of the North Bay Labour Council and multi-time NDP candidate is retiring from his job.

Henri Giroux retired from his job as a cook at Cassellholme yesterday. He has been at Cassellholme for 38 years and four months

"Today is my last day to be on Cassellholme payroll," Giroux wrote on his Facebook page. "After today I will be fully retired. I really enjoyed my time cooking for the seniors."

Giroux told BayToday that his plan is to take December off.

"I will still represent Labour Council until the end of my term. Then get ready for the biggest campaign that's coming soon.... I think you know what I mean," Giroux hinted. 

He also has 10 grandbabies and one great-grandchild that will keep him busy.
