Mayor's Message

Building a strong, growing community and supporting local businesses are key activities for this Council. During our term, we intend to work diligently with developers and businesses to achieve residential and business growth in the area;  but growth alone, is not enough. 

The success of our community is also due in large part to the efforts of our amazing volunteers who deliver numerous annual, local events that are enjoyed by our residents and visitors. This Council is eager to continue supporting our volunteers and to work with them to pursue new opportunities and activities that will showcase our vibrant community. 

Ongoing enhancements to our parks and facilities that promote accessibility is another Council initiative. We want to make North Dundas a great place for everyone to visit, to live, to work and to raise a family. Working together we can make this happen!
