Linden Crain After four years as a councillor, Linden Crain is seeking to move up. Crain was the first person to file his nomination papers and did so in an effort to be Amherstburg’s next deputy mayor. “For the past four years, it’s been an honour to serve as a councillor,” said Crain. Crain said he’s looking to step forward and become deputy mayor, in part, because of his desire to sit on Essex County council “and look at the region as a whole.” Mayors and deputy mayors

The delegation police strikes again in Amherstburg. We had another deputation request denied as it didn’t exactly match the criteria of our Procedural By-Law. Two deputations were denied for the April 27 council meeting.

Even with this personal attachment to Belle Vue, I think I speak for all those descendants that it is tim

Letter regarding “Amherstburg better frozen in time” lacked clarity. Message didn’t hit home. Especially with the Amico Belle Vue cancellation announcement. It would have been perfect timing had the message expanded. Our town is loaded with empty abandoned space. Belle Vue, Allied, Seagrams, General Amherst High School. Duffy’s is finally developed with a partial dock after sitting in rot but what will it do. Boating is dead with fuel prices. People travel by car. The the

Amherstburg Municipal Building. A resident has brought forth his concerns with regards to a “lame duck” period town council could be faced with, given that this is an election year. Bill Petruniak stated his presentation started formulating after the April 16 economic development advisory committee meeting, one where he was also a delegate. He said there were a number of items on the April 27 town council agenda he was concerned with, but he decided to speak on the “lame duck
