Before he signed off on the last bit of pape- rwork he will have to do this year as warden for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell, Robert Kirby had a few thank-yous to pass on to his fellow mayors and the counties staff. «I couldn’t have done it without you,» he said, before adjourning the Nov. 25 regular session of council. Next month during an evening inaugura- tion ceremony for the 2016 counties council, Kirby will hand over the warden’s gavel, chain of office, and duties to his successor for next year, Mayor Guy Desjardins of the City of Clarence-Rockland. «It was a great year,» Kirby said during an interview following the end of the last November Wednesday council session. One of the highlights, he noted, was being able to provide each member municipal- ity of United Counties of Prescott-Russell

The counties had set aside in a special re- serve fund $2million as its share for the eco- Larose project, on the assumption that the federal and provincial governments would partner with the UCPR on the proposed natural history research and interpretive centre and conference hall. When both se- nior levels of government in the end passed on the opportunity, the counties council decided against returning the $2 million to the UCPR’s capital reserve, and voted instead to redistribute the money among the eight municipalities for use on their infrastructure and other needs. “A lot of the municipalities are having a hard time,” Kirby said. Kirby will resume his seat on counties council as the mayoral representative for East Hawkesbury Township.
