The City of Clarence-Rockland organizes public consultations for the revision of ward boundaries.

Citizens had the opportunity to ask questions to City representatives on January 22nd at the Bourget Community Centre and on January 23rd at the Clarence-Rockland Arena.

The City of Clarence-Rockland is organizing 2 series of public consultations to seek the community’s opinion and support for the ward boundary revisions scheduled for summer 2025. One of them is taking place on January 22 and 23, and the next consultations are scheduled for spring 2025.

Two sets of public consultations

“The ward boundary review for Clarence-Rockland is overdue, it’s been the same ward since 1998 where there was the amalgamation, with the growth we’re looking at reviewing either the whole ward system or simply readjusting” explains the City clerk Monique Ouellet, “so at this moment we’re collecting comments from the public as to what they want to see in the future […] in terms of ward or electoral system.” Engaging the public as early as possible gives the firm hired to review the boundaries as well as the council a better idea of what citizens hope to see for new boundaries.

A team of consultants hired by the City

One of the consultants on hand to address the population was Dr. Robert J. Williams, he explains that, “it is an attempt to keep the review independent of both elected officials and staff, in the sense that staff are often concerned about how their recommendations might be perceived by council”. The consultants have begun the process of drawing up the new boundaries in collaboration with the city, but hope to have the public’s opinion to offer the community a plan based on citizens’ expectations. Dr. Williams narrows the public inquiry to a simple question by asking “You’ve got a system, do you like it or not? And if you do, what do you like about it? If you don’t, what do you think needs to be addressed?”

In this episode of Eastern Ontario News, the mayor of Casselman holds a delegation to hear her community’s comments and ideas towards Casselman’s ongoing water crisis.

Jade Laviolette – Local Journalism Initiative

A delegation has been hosted by the mayor of Casselman, Geneviève Lajoie, to provide citizens with an opportunity to voice their concerns and ideas before she seeks funding to connect Casselman’s water to Clarence-Rockland’s. However, when we asked the community what they thought, we received a mix of support and apprehension regarding the plan to fix the water quality.

The possible solution

For years, the water quality in Casselman has been at the mercy of the unpredictable weather, explains the mayor when she says: “There’s high levels of manganese in our water, there’s also THMs [trihalomethanes], so that has created a lot of concerns for our residents, especially last summer during the crisis where it was so hot and the water had just evaporated leaving high levels- and concentrations of manganese.”

Trying to resolve this problem in her community, Geneviève Lajoie has decided it would be best if Casselman’s water would connect to Rockland’s pipelines. Determined to get support for this project, she plans to ask for around 75 million dollars from the ministry of infrastructure at the AMO (Associations of Municipalities of Ontario) conference on August 20th.

The community’s response

In order to ensure the community had a chance to voice their concerns and ideas, the mayor did a ‘round table’ style meeting with the people who wished to participate. During the delegation, one of the residents told the mayor: “I think other mayors have tried [to solve the water issues] – but they didn’t in turn put a lot of focus because it’s a big job, so I commend you for doing this and taking it on […]”

However, when we interviewed members of the community outside the delegation, they claimed that the water quality in Casselman was awful and questioned the possible issues that would come with making the decision to connect Casselman from Rockland’s water.
