Mayor extends his thanks to candidates

November 5, 2014   ·   0 Comments

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the candidates who ran for office in the 2014 King municipal election and to commend each of you for your commitment and desire to serve your community and to make King an even greater place than it is today.
Elections take a lot of personal commitment and effort, and they are not for the faint of heart. It takes stamina, perseverance and often times a thick skin as you lay your life bare to public scrutiny.
So to all those candidates, on behalf of all our residents and ratepayers, we thank you for your courage and hard work these past few months. For those who were not successful, I encourage you to stay involved, to volunteer,  and to always shop local!
To the council elect I would like to thank you all for the respectful election campaigns you each ran.  Such respectfulness sends a very positive message to our community, the Region and the Province that this council, from day one, is ready to take on the challenges that will emerge on a daily basis, and to work as a united front to help one another,  by respecting the needs and wishes of every ward in the Township of King.
As we enter this next stage of council I am heartened and excited by the fact that this group of committed, community minded individuals shows the kind of promise rarely seen in municipal government, whereby each individual’s strengths and knowledge base can be brought together to form a balanced, cohesive team focused winning the day for King, day in, and day out.
So cheers everyone!
Here’s looking to another great four years for King.
Mayor Steve Pellegrini
