Councillor McCann Meeting Report (October 18, 2022)
All Candidates Meeting & Voting Statistics
The last few weeks have been particularly quiet with no meetings to report on. I did attend the All Candidates Meeting at the Bobby Orr Community Centre, Thursday, October 6, 2022. Thank you to sponsors Nicole Boyd and Sid Steiner for sponsoring and organizing this important and vital event. Thank you to Jim Marshall who moderated that evening. Thank you to the members of the public who attended and for their interest and questions. I would note that in 2018 Parry Sound had a 51% turnout in voting. Should we achieve that same result this time around and knowing the number of advanced voters so far this year, I think we would expect that this amounts to 30% of the overall voter turnout for 2022. I think this is encouraging and is a good sign of people engaging in this election. I certainly encourage everyone who is eligible to vote. I too would echo a note of congratulations to outgoing Councillor Roger Burden and Councillor Brad Horne as they will not be in attendance at our next and final Council Meeting of this term. Everyone brings a number of skills and their own perspective to the table. Together we are a team. Thank you very much to these gentlemen and I wish them all the best in the next chapters of their lives.
