Municipal voting will be here again this October and this is an important day for all cottagers in the South Channel.  Ninety-five per cent (95%) of ratepayers in the Archipelago are seasonal users of their property and are thus eligible to vote.  Our understanding is that we don't have to drive on election day to Parry Sound, but may cast our ballot either by phone or on line.
 
The four candidates for our Ward 4 spoke briefly to us at our AGM and their bios are available on the website of the South Channel Association.  The executive of your SCA in no way wishes to tell any ratepayer how to vote, but we simply report that at its meeting on August 31, it was unanimous in support of Rick Zanussi (year-round councillor), John Seagram and Ted Christie (seasonal councillors).
 
We have been effectively represented by these three over the years.  But in a democracy, the vital thing is that you vote!

Your Executive.
