Groulx prepares to take office<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Groulx said the results reflected the confidence residents had placed in him, adding that he hoped to meet their expectations and continue moving the municipality forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing the results, seeing the trust everyone is giving me, it\u2019s something I\u2019ve felt for a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s what led me to run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His first priorities include meeting with the incoming councillors, establishing committees and reviewing the municipality\u2019s upcoming budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to start looking at the budget,\u201d Groulx said, noting that the period leading up to Christmas would be busy as the new council prepares to take office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the incoming council as a good mix of returning and new members and said he looked forward to working with the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New and returning councillors ready for the work ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lafl\u00e8che, who was elected to council for the first time, described a mixture of relief and excitement after a demanding 60-day campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a relief, full of emotions at the same time, knowing there\u2019s work to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lafl\u00e8che acknowledged that joining council would mean balancing his municipal responsibilities with his existing job and family life, including raising two children. He said he was ready for the challenge and had the full support of his partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also welcomed the change in leadership, saying he believed new perspectives could help move forward issues that had stalled over the previous four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think change is always good. We need to move forward with ideas,\u201d he said. \u201cThe community has spoken, and we need to move forward with that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Dona, also elected to council, said she felt excited, happy and nervous about taking on the responsibility of public office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her next steps will include meeting with the people she will work alongside and thoroughly reviewing municipal files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel very confident,\u201d she said of the incoming council, adding that experienced members would be able to support those joining the table for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning councillor Leblanc, who is preparing for her fifth term, called her re-election an honour and said she continued to approach the role with the same determination and ambition as when she first ran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She welcomed Groulx’s election and said she expected the incoming council to work well together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s wanted to be there for a long time. He\u2019ll do a good job. We\u2019ve always worked well together, and we\u2019ll continue to work well together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leblanc also expressed confidence in the two newly elected councillors, describing them as active members of the community who would bring energy and ideas to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cl\u00e9roux said he accepted his re-election with humility and viewed the role as an ethical responsibility to make decisions for the right reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized the importance of collaboration between returning and newly elected members, particularly as the new councillors familiarize themselves with municipal files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy door will always be open to discuss things,\u201d he said, adding that decisions ultimately needed to be made collectively and in the best interests of Casselman residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
