Cornwall ON – Mark A MacDonald writes, “It’s time to put all the issues that plagued the last Council behind us. We need a strong new Council that’s focused on common goals and works together as a team and it starts with the candidates.

The loss of our General Hospital and the chemical tanks on our waterfront were huge setbacks for the City of Cornwall, we need a new Council that has a clear agenda.

Recently our City Council voted in favour of a massive pay increase and attention centered on having qualified candidates. After consulting with the various stakeholders a “4 Step Certification Process” has been developed”.

Step One calls for more help to the Port Theatre.

The resolution reads as follows: “A new Council will recognize the Port Theatre as a building that is historically significant and we will work with the Port to obtain the required capacity they need for LCBO events.”
