OUR FUTURE
One Community. One Voice.
The Perth Community is one interconnected collective, yet we govern ourselves as four separate municipalities.
At Lanark County Council, that means we are seen as a population of 6,500 instead of the collective 26,000-person community that we are.
Those numerical discrepancies affect our access to services and our ability to make our community's needs heard at the County level.
