In Episode 13, Mayor Jamie MacDonald walks us through the May 11th and May 25th council meetings, covering agricultural land management and surplus dwelling severances, the proposed revitalization of the Riley Park tennis courts, and ongoing discussions surrounding a proposed telecommunications tower in Alexandria.
The discussion also explores rural road infrastructure improvements, the proposed extension of the Trillium Landing subdivision, and community investments including upgrades to Island Park, Fireman’s Island, and recreation facilities such as the Glengarry Sports Palace.
Additional topics include a new emergency services partnership with the City of Ottawa, the appointment of Fire Chief Matthew Roy as Deputy Fire Coordinator for SD&G, support for a county-wide Rural Agricultural Advisory Committee, and council’s advocacy for property assessment reform. Together, these discussions highlight North Glengarry’s continued focus on infrastructure, public safety, recreation, agriculture, and long-term rural sustainability.
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.
