Quote:I am speaking as a citizen by drawing upon my 26 years of personal experience as a councillor and mayor. I believe now is the time to change our governance structure to equip this community for the future. There may never be a perfect moment to change. Let's embrace this as an opportunity, rather than a threat, an opportunity to reinvent our community, an opportunity to update and polish its brand and give everyone here the means to be part of something bigger, something important, fresh, new.
The truth is, amalgamated or not, we'll always be from the communities, villages and neighbourhoods we call home.
