Lord Mayor, eh?

Reg was doing a little Wiki work yesterday when he stumbled across this excellent piece of information:
The mayor is the leader in most Canadian municipalities. However, some Canadian provinces still use the term reeve for the elected head of a small village, a township or a rural municipality, performing a similar role to the mayor of a town or city. The town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario is the only municipality in Canada whose elected head holds the traditionally British title of Lord Mayor.

Mayors are styled 'His/Her Worship' while in office. [1]

The chief executives of boroughs (arrondissements) in Quebec are termed mayors.


I think Lord Mayor is kind of catchy, don't you?
