SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – During last night’s South Glengarry council meeting, mayor Ian McLeod officially announced that he won`t be running for re-election this fall.
McLeod feels that it`s time to allow other people to take over council. He has been a council member since 1997.
“I think it’s time to take some time for myself and for my family too,” said McLeod.
McLeod is proud of several accomplishments seen during his time as mayor, including succession planning within the township and council staff.
There are many projects that McLeod would like to see upheld by his successors. He supports the expansion of suburban water works, the distribution of natural gas throughout the township and the continual upgrade to road systems. Additionally, he is interested in the development of a new firehall in Williamstown, and training staff according to the Province`s updated fire services and regulations.
“I certainly enjoyed my time [on council] and it’s certainly going to be a change in lifestyle,” said McLeod.
