a need for “unity, transparency, and the de- velopment of a vision” for both council and the City of Clarence-Rockland. “Unity is the main value for success in any team,” he said. “In a city council, when there are divisions, disrespect and rudeness spo- ken publicly on the part of elected o#cials, it is very di#cult, if not impossible, to get things done at the appropriate pace. To me, unity implies that one must forget himself as an individual for the good of the group. Unity does not mean uniformity but it means that all are walking together toward the same goal.” Grimard said he wants to create transpar- ency about city a"airs through “a simple and honest channel of communication among city council, management, sta" and residents.” Grimard also emphasized that council needs to work together to create a vision for the community “which will inspire the management, employees and the citizens of our city.” He noted that part of that vision means allowing city sta" to work without constant interference or badgering from council. “The municipality currently possesses a team of employees, including managers and professional directors who are very quali!ed in furthering the advance of our city,”he said.“My responsibility as councillor will be to inspire them to go further by giv- ing them the resources to do so.” Grimard is challenging incumbent Coun. Bernard Payer for the Ward 3 seat.
