In Episode 15, Mayor Jamie MacDonald walks us through the July 13th and July 29th council meetings, covering the upcoming amalgamation of the Raisin Region Conservation Authority into the St. Lawrence River Regional Conservation Authority, preparations for the 2026 municipal election, and zoning amendments supporting housing flexibility and rural economic development.
The discussion also explores continued investments in recreation facilities, grant opportunities for future community projects, a new regional animal control partnership with the Township of Russell, and strong building activity representing approximately $17.5 million in construction value across North Glengarry.
Additional topics include improvements to the township’s roads program, community and municipal partnerships, and the significant structural repairs required at the Dunvegan Recreation Hall. Together, these discussions highlight North Glengarry’s continued focus on infrastructure, recreation, regional cooperation, responsible growth, and long-term community investment..
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.
