Southern Perspective – Episode 12

In Episode 12, Mayor McDonald walks us through the April 13th and April 27th council meetings, covering a food bank delegation highlighting rising community need, continued progress on the proposed indoor firing range through an Official Plan Amendment, and zoning changes supporting residential development on church-owned lands.

The discussion also explores key infrastructure decisions including the Sutherland Creek Bridge rehabilitation project, updates to the Township’s asset management strategy, and ongoing work surrounding the Char-Lan Recreation Centre capital project as construction and planning continue moving forward.

Additional topics include governance updates such as a review of the council code of conduct, the Township’s acquisition of the Lancaster library property to secure long-term community use, heritage designation considerations tied to rising insurance costs, recreation partnership agreements, and how council continues balancing growth, infrastructure investment, and community pressures across South Glengarry.

Why Southern 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 South Glengarry.
