Southern Perspective – Episode 1
In Episode 16, Mayor McDonald walks us through the August 24th South Glengarry council meeting, covering a $3.5 million fundraising campaign to bring a CT scanner to Glengarry Memorial Hospital, a proposed $10,000 Township contribution, and agricultural zoning and farm entrance standards aimed at adapting municipal policies to the realities of modern farming.
The discussion also explores South Glengarry’s support for regional concerns surrounding the proposed Alto high-speed rail project, including how major transportation investments could affect rural Eastern Ontario and the importance of considering existing passenger rail service alongside future projects.
Additional topics include support for the Glengarry Festival Trust Restoration Project, community and heritage investments, and the broader role municipalities play in advocating on issues such as rural healthcare and regional transportation that extend beyond traditional municipal responsibilities.
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.
