Update - November 21st, 2014

Good Friday afternoon to one and all!

This marks my first somewhat ‘official’ blog post, and I wanted to let all of you know how things are going.

First, thank you for the privilege of serving. It will be my job over the next four years to justify your trust and confidence.

As you can imagine, the transition is well underway, and those elected in October have already met in order to learn the ropes and get a sense of the work before us. I believe I can say that Township staff has been very helpful in making this process a smooth one, and my colleagues are excited about the challenge. Of course, there is still more to do before we officially take office.

The inaugural meeting of this new Council takes place on December 2nd at 7:00 p.m. at the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall in Sharbot Lake. It will be short as the main purpose will be to swear in the new Council and determine duties for the upcoming term. As with any Council meeting, it is public, and if you are interested in coming, it might be interesting to see. The first full business meeting of your Council will be on Monday, December 9th, beginning at 4:00 p.m.

In terms of my schedule over the next couple of weeks, I wanted to let you know of some events that I expect to be attending:

• Friday, November 21st – “101 Nativities Exhibit” at Cole Lake Free Methodist Church, Godfrey (Event runs Friday from 6:30 - 8:30pm and Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 - 3:30pm.)

• Saturday, December 6th – Community Christmas Potluck at Piccadilly Hall (runs 1:00 to 4:00 pm)

• Sunday, December 7th - Santa Claus Parade, Parham

That’s it for now, but I’m hoping to have more soon. In the meantime, if you need to reach me, my new e-mail address is bcameron@centralfrontenac.com

Stay warm – stay well!

Cheers,

Brent
