The bad news is that we lost a valuable councilor on Village Council.
Councilor Dave McKenzie accepted the position of Public Works foreman - but unfortunately that meant he had to resign as councilor to prevent a conflict of interest. The provincial Municipal Government Act is very clear on who can be a councilor and who can't. Dave had been working for the village through a temporary contractual situation, but that ended as soon as we hired him as our new foreman.
I'll miss Dave on Council. His perceptions, thoughts and candor were appreciated and will be greatly missed. But we now have the opportunity to elect a new councilor in a byelection, coming in early April.
Good luck Dave!
