Port Elgin resident and former village councillor Terry Legere is one of three candidates vying to fill the vacant seat on the municipal council for Strait Shores, the sprawling amalgamated municipality that includes Port Elgin, Cape Tormentine and Murray Corner.
Legere tells CHMA his main goal is to ramp up general maintenance around the municipality, with a focus on roads. He says provincial route 955 and the municipal Moore Road are both in terrible shape and need attention. And his own harrowing experience hitting a moose while driving a school bus has strengthened his call for increased trimming of vegetation along secondary highways in the region.
The Strait Shores by-election takes place Monday, December 9, with voting at PEDVAC in Port Elgin from 10am to 8pm.
Candidates are Andy MacGregor, Terrence (Terry) Legere, and Donna Allen. CHMA has reached out to all three for interviews.
