In a surprising turn of events, Councillor Gorrell has announced his resignation from his position in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands (TLTI).
Gorrell, who has served as a councillor for the past six years, made the announcement during a council meeting on Tuesday evening. He cited personal reasons for his decision to step down, stating that it was a difficult but necessary choice for him and his family.
During his time as a councillor, Gorrell has been a dedicated and active member of the community, working tirelessly to improve the lives of residents in the township. He has been a strong advocate for environmental conservation and has played a key role in several initiatives to promote sustainable living in the area.
His colleagues on the council expressed their sadness at his departure, with Mayor Joe Baptista stating that Gorrell will be greatly missed and that his contributions to the township will not be forgotten.
Gorrell’s resignation will leave a vacant seat on the council, which will need to be filled through a by-election. The township will release more information on the by-election process in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, the council will continue to work towards the betterment of the community and will ensure a smooth transition for the new councillor.
We thank Councillor Gorrell for his service and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. His dedication and passion for the township will be remembered and appreciated by all.
