CAO to sub for city council during lame duck. Church will rent Creative Glass building
ELLIOT LAKE - Elliot Lake city council has agreed to a plan from CAO Daniel Gagnon that the city turn over some four point two acres of waterfront land on Elliot Lake to the First Nations.
Several residents spoke in favour of the gift as did Mayor Dan Marchisella and all the other councillors. It was felt that the land gift to Serpent River was a tangible way to demonstrate the city’s commitment to further economic and tourism partnerships with Serpent River. “Because of the concepts of reconciliation, we're allowing Serpent River First Nation to be in the driver's seat on the future of that parcel, which was basically their land originally and we're able to return to them for the future. What we've been learning is it is a future that will span seven generations, not one term of council, which is kind of what we're used to.” Gagnon concluded.
“It seems extremely fitting that we discussed this today of all days with what occurred in Alberta this afternoon,” observed Coun. Norman Mann.“The social and economic benefits to the two communities are extraordinary,” noted Coun. Tom Turner. The arrangement will come into force when the municipal clerk determines that less than 75 per cent of the current members of council will be returning to sit on the new council after nomination day of the 2022 elections.
The religious group was not named in any of the documents presented in the public meeting or any other reports to committee and council on the zoning change.
