Peter Emon has been re-elected as Warden of Renfrew County. Emon, Renfrew’s reeve, was up against Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, who came within one vote of being elected warden of Renfrew County Tuesday, Dec. 8. Stack was edged by incumbent Emon 9-8 in a vote by county councilors. Emon will serve his fourth term as warden in 2016. He received applause at the start of Renfrew council’s regular meeting Dec. 8. He thanked his fellow councillors for their support. “I’d like express my appreciation to council and staff for your support in my last year as warden and this year. Your patience and attempts to schedule around my sometimes chaotic life – I really appreciate it,” said Emon. The flexibility shown ensures everyone on council has the ability to contribute, he added. Emon was nominated by Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy. It was seconded by Mayor John Reinwald of Laurentian Hills. The nomination for Stack was moved by Reeve Debbie Robinson of Laurentian Valley and seconded by Reeve Glenn Doncaster of Deep River. Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton observed that both individuals were competent and capable to lead the County of Renfrew as warden and this was reflected in the close outcome of the vote.
