Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh Mayor Glen McNeil has been voted in as the new Warden for Huron County.
At Wednesday's Huron County Council meeting, McNeil beat out South Huron Mayor George Finch to become Warden following Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn.
McNeil will serve out a 2-year term through 2021-22, with the next municipal elections in 2022.
In 2014 McNeil was elected to ACW council and was acclaimed as mayor in 2018. He currently is the Chair of the Huron County Library Board, a member of the Huron County Facility Review Committee, and the Homelessness Task Force Committee.
Warden McNeil has also been sitting in on bi-weekly meetings with other mayors, reeves and and CAOs since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
"Over the next two years, I hope to lead County Council with integrity and compassion. I plan to support, and help guide, the many great initiatives and projects that the County is engaged in”, says newly elected Warden Glen McNeil. “Through the shared determination of Council and staff, I believe we can accomplish great things that will have lasting benefits in our community".
"I believe in a resilient Huron County that respects our heritage, looks to the future with forward thinking, and most of all, takes care of one another. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve the Huron County community in this capacity," adds Warden McNeil.
