Grimard is familiar with traffic conditions on the County Road 17/High- way 174 connector because of his own daily commute to and from Ottawa. “It’s time to get really proactive and fix the 174,” he said. “That’s a commitment I really want to make.” Grimard is also a commercial building owner in Clarence-Rockland and thinks he could help serve as a voice on council for
