Lanark Lodge partnered with Perth and District Collegiate Institute's senior art and construction classes, and the students created beautiful interactive murals of Perth to be displayed in the home. Thank you for bringing beauty to the walls of our home! The residents and staff will enjoy these for many years to come. We look forward to collaborating with more art in the months to come.

Lanark County Councillors and staff are grateful for the opportunity to meet with ministry representatives at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) Conference in Toronto earlier this week.
Delegates met with the Ministry of the Solicitor General on Monday to talk about
continuous, increased funding for the Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT). This partnership between Lanark OPP, Smiths Falls Police Service and Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH) provides an integrated co-response to mental health calls and helps to divert patients from hospitals.
On Tuesday, delegates met with the Ministry of Health to discuss methods to divert low-acuity paramedic calls away from ambulance resources and emergency rooms. The delegation asked for advice and support from the ministry in its pursuit of programs to improve response times, reduce resource impacts to emergency rooms and provide support to residents who don't have a primary care provider by focusing paramedic resources on prevention and high-acuity calls.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak on these important issues! ... See MoreSee Less
