County Council elects new Warden in December 2009. Mayor of Wasaga Beach (and good friend) Cal Patterson received unanimous support from County Council. I had predicted earlier that morning to the media, some County Colleagues and former Warden and Collingwood Mayor Terry Geddes, that Warden Guergis would not accept the nomination for a possible fourth term; that Site 41 - amongst other issues - had been agonizing for many; and that a new Warden should be acclaimed - providing a unifiying moment, instead of a bitter defeat by the incumbent. County Politics is an interesting experience at times. Cal is seen here receiving the Chain of Office from his partner in life, Deb. It was an emotional day for many.
