FeaturesSwearing-in of Mississippi Mills Council attracted a full house Swearing-in of Mississippi Mills Council attracted a full house December 4, 2014 by Neil Carleton A full house greeted Council-elect on Tuesday night, December 2, as piper Regan Warner escorted the soon-to-be Councilors and Mayor into the Council Chamber a few minutes past 7:00 p.m. All the seats in the public gallery were full, and additional chairs were set out around the room to accommodate the many residents who attended. The administration of the oath of office was conducted for the whole Council rather than swearing-in individual Councilors and the Mayor. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin received the Chain of Office from the municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer, Diane Smithson. Before the Council meeting was adjourned, the Mayor gave a short speech which is copied here in full. left-to-right Councilors Jane Torrance, Christa Lowry, Val Wilkinson, Duncan Abbott; Mayor Shaun McLaughlin; Councilors John Edwards, Denzil Ferguson, Bernard Cameron, Jill McCubbin, Paul Watters, Alex Gillis Photos: © Neil Carleton Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Related Wishing our readers a safe and happy Christmas January 28, 2022 Letter from Germany 10 – Integration June 11, 2016 Letter from Germany 9 – Germany adjusts to the huge influx of immigrants June 3, 2016 FOLLOW US FacebookTwitter Latest EARTHFEST, April 20 in Carleton Place April 17, 2024 An Almonte baby boom April 17, 2024 Brenda Edgerton — obituary April 17, 2024 Illuminated by Small Miracles April 17, 2024 Almonte Tennis Club: New members welcome April 17, 2024 Tomato Trout April 14, 2024 From the Archives Quinoa-Lentil Salad with Grilled Halloumi Braised Chicken Thighs with Marinated Artichokes ‘Paddle for AGH’ brings in almost $16,000 First Yard of the Week for 2023 First-ever MMLT radiothon a great success!
