“It has been my honour to represent the residents of the Town of Mono for 27 years as public school trustee, councillor and Mayor” she wrote in her letter of resignation. 

“I wish Council & future Councils best wishes in their deliberations in the work that they continue to do on behalf of residents in Mono. My time spent with Mono residents has been enlightening & engaging” she went on to say.

Council has called a virtual special meeting on September 3^rd at 1 p.m. to discuss filling the vacancy left by Laura’s resignation.
