All but two committee, board positions filled for Wellington North members

KENILWORTH – With the exception of two appointments, all committee and board positions represented by Wellington North members have been filled.

“I think the intent that I was recommending was to try to stay status quo as much as possible,” Mayor Andy Lennox told council at a Dec. 5 meeting announcing the appointments.
