Township of South Algonquin Priority Setting December 2018 This presentation is meant to compliment the one that was provided a few weeks ago in Barry’s Bay, I hope to be a little more South Algonquin Centric and a little less preachy. I’m not an expert, and I’ve never done a council orientation so this is my effort to tell you what I think you need to know, I’ve got just under 40 slides and I’ve put aside 3 hours, my hope is that we can have some good discussion to help bring the new councillors up to speed and hopefully create a clear path forward for both council and staff to share some amazing accomplishments over the next four years.
