“It has been a privilege to work for the people of Kanata for the last 22 years,” said Feltmate. “With the birth of my grandson last June, I decided that, when my term on council expires, working for the community needs to become a part-time, volunteer activity.”
“There is a temptation to stick around until every issue I am working on is resolved, but I know by the time that happens new issues will have been added to the list. What I am pleased about is that it has been possible to make progress on longstanding problems facing our community.”
