Happy New Year! As we begin 2026, Mayor Rod Ward is pleased to share an update on the Township of Armour’s progress and priorities for the year ahead. The January 2026 Mayor’s Report highlights the Township’s accomplishments since November 2022 and outlines a clear, forward-looking strategy focused on six key areas: delivering value for constituents, protecting natural assets, expanding cooperation and shared services, strengthening health and wellness, supporting economic development, and planning for housing and growth. Together, these priorities guide Council’s efforts to ensure responsible decision-making and long-term sustainability. Over the past three years, Armour has made meaningful progress through expanded regional services, investments in recreation and community facilities, enhanced environmental stewardship, leadership in regional healthcare planning, and preparation of shovel-ready commercial and industrial lands. Continued work on housing initiatives, infrastructure readiness, and high-speed connectivity further positions the Township to support residents and businesses. Looking ahead, the report emphasizes a broader Almaguin Highlands regional approach—building on existing partnerships, developing centres of excellence, and aligning services to improve efficiency, resilience, and value. This collaborative vision will help Armour continue to meet today’s needs while preparing thoughtfully for the future. Mayor Ward remains committed to transparent leadership, sustainability, and a community-first mindset. Thank you for your engagement and continued support.
