OK, get in, sit down, put your seatbelt on and let’s go. This may cause some to get their knickers in a knot, but if there ever was a time to consider the following, it is now, thanks to the pandemic. Many things are being reviewed and re-jigged these days. Indeed, things are being done that some folks would never have considered doing before the pandemic. The pandemic is offering countless opportunities to seek out new ways of doing almost everything in our society.
In many respects we have put our individual and community-based
lives on hold since the debut of Covid-19. And now is the time, while so much
is changing and being considered, to ask that our local elected officials come
together for a deep and wide exploration of how to break down any arbitrary
geo-political barriers to help build up our community of North Renfrew.

We have been hunkered down for almost eight months. If ever
there was a time, it is now, to acknowledge that new ways and means must
prevail to ensure North Renfrew remains a vibrant, progressive and healthy community
for everyone, all the while improving our communal prosperity.

Our elected officials must leave the past behind, come
together and lead us forward into a new era of cooperation and mutual societal
benefit. They must do this for us, for our community vitality and health and
our big and small businesses. Now is not the time for excuses and maintaining
the status quo. Now is the time for our municipal councillors to use this
opportunity for the benefit of North Renfrew. This opportunity for fresh and
new ways of moving forward together must not be squandered by our local
politicians. Now is not the time to wait and see how things will fare for North
Renfrew. Now is the time to show your collective selves as the leaders you are.
Now is the time!
