Mayor Shawn Pankow is excited to continue to be at the helm of what is the 137th edition of a Smiths Falls council.
He says there’s lots of big decisions and projects on the way over the course of the next four years but feels he and the last council did a good job laying the foundation to get there.
Joining him once more is former colleague Dawn Quinn, who’s back for her fifth term after losing her re-election bid in 2018, only to win four years later.
Quinn was publicly critical of Pankow and the town’s Beckwith Street revitalization, a moment of time she told Lake 88 she’s moving on from and is water under the bridge.
Pankow shared a similar sentiment.
Pankow’s familiarity of Quinn, former economic development and tourism manager turned councillor Jennifer Miller, and getting to know Stephen Robinson over the past several weeks has him in a positive mindset that series steps can be taken to further better the town over the upcoming term.
