Coun. Guy Félio will not run for re-election tion. The case is now before a provincial court judge.
CLARENCE CREEK | Guy Félio’s name won’t be on the ballot in the October municipal election. The Ward 5 councillor is calling it quits for his time on council for the City of Clarence-Rockland after his mandate ends this fall. Félio confirmed his decision not to run for re-election in an email sent to Mayor Mar- cel Guibord and local media. He stated that “for professional and personal reasons” he would not seek a second term. The Ward 5 representative told the Vision during a later phone interview that he had made his decision at the start of the year but did not specify the exact reasons be- yond saying he thought it was “a good time to announce it” so that anyone else who might have been considering putting their names up as potential candidates could get started on preparations. Félio, along with the mayor and Coun. Diane Choinière are each charged with breach of trust along with local business- man and lawyer Stéphane J. Lalonde, who is also charged with counselling to commit breach of trust. The charges resulted from OPP investiga- tion of a series of email exchanges between Lalonde and the three council members soon after the November 2010 civic elec-
Félio indicated the court case is not the reason for his decision to not run for re- election and expressed confidence that he and the others will be found not guilty. The Ward 5 councillor expressed satisfac- tion with his achievements during his time on council, including launching a concept plan project for the village of Clarence Creek, which gave residents there a chance to comment and provide input on the fu- ture of their area. He is also happy to have been involved in the creation of the new Jules Saumure Park in the village. On council Félio chaired the infrastructure and buildings committee and was involved in the planning process for the Caron Street extension project, and trying to arrange funding support for improvements to Al- bert Street, and in future for Baseline Road and Drouin Road. Félio dismissed any idea that he might take a run at the mayor’s position in this year’s election. After finishing his first and only term for now in municipal politics, he said he will remain involved in commu- nity affairs affecting the future of Clarence- Rockland but for now he has no intention of sitting on council again. fairs minister and also the minister respon- sible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
