Appointment of Michael Laplume as Deputy Mayor of the municipality of Potton
At its April 6 meeting, the Municipal Council of the Township of Potton appointed Michael Laplume as Deputy Pro Mayor for the Municipality of Potton. Laplume who is presently a council member will be replacing Mayor Jacques Marcoux who has chosen to leave his position as of November 2020 to pursue personal interests leaving his current position vacant for the last year of his mandate.
“It is an honour to have been selected by my peers to represent them as Mayor when Mr. Marcoux leaves in November,” shared Laplume. “I feel very lucky to have a hard working group to work with and I intend to do my best in representing them as well as the citizens of Potton.”
Mr. Laplume intends to complete the files that are currently underway working alongside the present members of the Municipal Council: Jason Ball, Bruno Cote, Andre Ducharme, Francis Marcoux and Eddy Mierzwinski.
“I intend on making sure that the ongoing projects stay on track and come to fruition,” he said.
Laplume stressed the appreciation he and the council feel toward outgoing Mayor, Jacques Marcoux.
“I wish Mayor Marcoux all the best and want to thank him for his professionalism. He has been a pleasure to work with and he has given this Municipality a lot over the years. He can surely leave with his head held high.”
As Laplume and the present council step into the final year of their mandate in November, they hope to work alongside the community in the betterment of Potton and all citizens.
