Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon (left) and Greater Madawaska Mayor Rob Weir have both been nominated for 2025 Warden of the County of Renfrew. An election will take place at the Inaugural Session of County Council on December 10.
RELEASE DATE:
November 12, 2024
Reeve Peter Emon of the Town of Renfrew and Mayor Rob Weir of the Township of Greater Madawaska have both been nominated for the 2025 Warden’s seat.
A ballot vote by County Councillors will take place on December 10, 2024 during the Inaugural Session of County Council to decide who will assume the Office of the Warden of the County of Renfrew for 2025.
A formal nomination process takes place annually for the Office of Warden, and any member of County Council is eligible after being nominated by two fellow council members. The successful councillor then fills the Office of Warden for a one-year term.
The Warden fulfills the role as head of council. The nomination process closes 30 days prior to the Inaugural Session and if there is more than one nomination, an election is required at the December meeting to determine the Warden for the upcoming year.
This marks the first time since 2019 that there will be an election for Warden.
