Councillor McCann Meeting Report (January 19, 2021)

Happy New Year
First, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a belated Happy New Year in 2021.  On behalf of my wife Josey and myself, we hope 2021 will prove to a year in which you keep safe, happy and healthy.  We hope in confidence for an end to COVID-19 in the foreseeable future and that effective vaccinations will be rolling out soon.  Thank you to all our front line workers who continue to work faithfully and diligently during these times.


Congratulations to Linda West On Receiving The 2020 Order of Parry Sound
Congratulations to Linda West on receiving 'The 2020 Order of Parry Sound'.  The motto for this honour and recognition is, "They Desire a Better Community".  Linda has gone very well beyond proving her worthiness of the Order.  She has exemplified the true spirit of all that this award represents.  When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Parry Sound Area, Linda, a Rotarian through the Rotary Club, spearheaded a grocery delivery program.  Linda and many others organized a shopping and curbside pickup and delivery service.  Congratulations to Linda West on making a difference and bringing our community together. Linda and her Rotarian companions, along with countless volunteers certainly lived up to the Rotary motto, "Service Above Self"!

Financial Reports were received and accepted, a review of the Constitution and By Laws was undertaken by the Governance Committee and discussed at the board level.  Other general business and housekeeping were dealt with.  The management and staff at Belvedere Heights continue to work very hard and diligently at keeping the COVID-19 numbers at bay.  Careful and thorough screening and planning and the development of policies in dealing with the protection of our residents, staff, visitors and management are ongoing.  Our next Board of Management Monthly Meeting is scheduled for January 27, 2021.
