Last evening at Camp Medley, we were joined by members of Council, family, staff, community partners, and residents to mark an important milestone in our community for Arcadiaโs Oath of Office Ceremony.
This ceremony represented more than a formal requirement of governance. It was a public commitment to service, leadership, and stewardship. The oath each member of council took reflects a promise to act in the best interests of the community, to uphold the responsibilities entrusted to them, and to work together respectfully and responsibly on behalf of all residents.
Local government is where decisions are closest to peopleโs daily lives โ the services we rely on, the safety of our neighborhoods, and the future we build together. The work ahead will require collaboration, thoughtful discussion, and a shared commitment to moving Arcadia forward.
We would also like to acknowledge and thank outgoing Mayor Clinton Sharpe and Councillor Paul Mennier for their dedication and contributions over the past term. Public service requires time, energy, and personal sacrifice, and their efforts are sincerely appreciated.
Congratulations to our Mayor and members of Council on officially taking the Oath of Office.
Last night marked the beginning of a new council term and a new chapter for Arcadia. While each member brings different experiences, perspectives, and priorities, you now share a common responsibility: to serve the community with integrity, respect, and dedication.
Administration looks forward to working alongside Council to support informed decision-making, deliver services to residents, and help advance the vision and goals of this community.
We would also like to thank the families, friends, staff, and residents who continue to support local government and civic engagement. Strong, resilient communities are built not only by elected officials, but by the people who contribute their time, ideas, and care every day.
To our newly elected and returning members of council: Congratulations! You have earned the trust of your community, and we look forward to supporting you in the important work ahead.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion. We wish Council every success in the term ahead.
