I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank outgoing Councillor Lea Johnson, who did not nominate for Council this election, for her significant work and dedication during her time on Council.
Together with staff, I look forward to working with our team of Councillors and continuing Council’s core business of providing our community quality facilities and services, while navigating the recovery phase following the COVID-19 pandemic.
I also look forward to moving ahead with the many projects in our municipality, following the successful completion of a number of projects under our previous Council.
