In Episode 11, Mayor Jamie MacDonald walks us through the March 23rd council meeting, covering zoning amendments that support housing growth while protecting agricultural land, a proposed seniors housing development in Alexandria, and key infrastructure investments including the Alexandria Lagoon expansion and sidewalk improvements.
The discussion also explores community partnerships such as the resurfacing of tennis and pickleball courts, updates to the 2026 tax rate and municipal fees, and drinking water system capacity and compliance as the township plans for future growth.
Additional topics include regional advocacy on high-speed rail, public input on development and neighbourhood impact, and the ongoing balance between growth, service delivery, and long-term sustainability in North Glengarry.
Why Northern Perspective?
Because it goes beyond meeting minutes — giving residents a clear, conversational understanding of how decisions are made, why they matter, and how they shape the future of North Glengarry.
