November 10, 2022
PEMBROKE: Reeve (acclaimed) of the Town of Renfrew, Peter Emon, has been nominated for the County of Renfrew Warden’s seat for 2023.
The sole nomination will be presented to County Councillors on November 23, 2022 during the Inaugural Session of County Council, where the appointment to the Office of the Warden of the County of Renfrew for 2023 is expected to be affirmed.
Starting on November 15, municipalities across Renfrew County will begin the process of swearing-in elected and acclaimed members for their new terms of council. The County of Renfrew hosts its inaugural meeting on November 23, when the heads of municipal council or those appointed to sit on County Council will take their oath of office for a County seat.
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 fulfils the role as head of council. In a municipal election year, the nomination process closes 14 days prior to the Inaugural Session and if there is more than one nomination, an election is required to determine a Warden at the Inaugural Session.
