STATEMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS
 

Councillor Akpata advises citizens that the Town has worked on making the Remembrance Day Ceremony as safe as possible. A reminder is extended to all citizens within the community to please be aware of the COVID-19 circumstances and for your own safety, please watch the Ceremony online and participate from home. The safety of those who will be attending and participating in the Ceremony will meet underneath the numbers as set out by the Province to avoid being in a position of liability. Councillor Akpata expresses thanks to Administration and Staff for coming up with a plan for a Virtual Remembrance Day Ceremony to ensure that all members of our community can participate safely so that we can pay the proper respect.

Councillor Renaud states that the retired LaSalle fire truck has been donated to the St. Clair College Fire Services Program. This is a valuable donation to the College and the Town is proud of the investment into the future. A thank-you is extended to the parties that were able to make this happen including the LaSalle Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief.
