The new Mississippi Mills Municipal Council was officially sworn in during an inaugural meeting at Almonte Old Town Hall on November 15th.
Mayor Christa Lowry (acclaimed), Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille, Almonte Councillors Mary Lou Souter and Jane Torrance, Ramsay Councillors Bev Holmes and Vicki Lowe, and Pakenham Councillor Denzil Ferguson (acclaimed) gave their Oath of Allegiance in front of their family, friends, former Heads of Council and members of the public.
“In many ways over the next four years, we will be defining a new chapter,” said Mayor Lowry in her inaugural address. “Globally, we are entering a new post-pandemic era with high-inflation, supply-chain issues and the war in Ukraine. The effects being felt both around the world and right at home. As growth pressures, climate change and economic opportunity are addressed across the province and across our country, we too will face these challenges and opportunities here at home in Mississippi Mills.”
Lowry is serving her second term as Mayor.
Mayor Lowry challenged every member of Council and every resident to celebrate and get involved in the municipality’s upcoming bi-centennial, whether it be through volunteering or simply participating in something new and outside of their regular activities.
