Community Activities:

Consider these facts:
-
961 of 1,346 Temagami residences are seasonal. (723 are on Lake Temagami.)
-
Seasonal rate payers contribute approximately 76% of the residential tax revenue.
-
0 seasonal residents are currently on Council.
Surely a very qualified seasonal resident with Andrew’s skill set would be the wise and logical choice to fill the vacant council position. We will see.
Please share.
