Letter to the Editor
Editor,
I thought your observations as to what to expect from the newly elected council were very insightful. However, there is one area that I think needs to be addressed and that is the suggestion that our newly elected mayoress does not fully understand the needs and thoughts of the rural residents of Meaford.
Barb Clumpus has been the council representative on the volunteer board at the Woodford Community centre for the past 4 years. She has been a very strong advocate and extremely supportive of the board and of the rural community. As well as offering sage advice and following through on requests from the board, she never hesitates to roll up her sleeves and work at events at the centre. All of this has been done in a quiet and competent manner which is probably why her efforts have not been more obvious to our rural residents.
Barb also offered this support to the centre, long before she became a council member and she deserves to be respected and recognized for this.
Sincerely
Norma Collis, Woodford
