I am honoured to have been elected as Warden for 2013 and I look forward to the opportunity to represent this great municipality. Promoting Lanark County is part of my heart and soul.

This year, our council will be embracing many challenges, such as balancing infrastructure spending while limiting tax increases to the rate of inflation. We continue to find ways to extend road life through progressive strategies and are constantly reviewing our operations to find cost savings. We work hard to meet these challenges and to have our voices heard on issues that affect all of us.

Agriculture and tourism are integral components of Lanark County, and we continually strive to share the bounty and benefits with everyone.

We have a great team of local representatives and outstanding staff who clearly see the important balance between fiscal responsibility and sustainable growth. We are being vigilant and are constantly looking at the longer term in our planning.

Please explore Lanark County and see for yourself why it is such a special place!
