Rachel Pigott of Barrie Central Collegiate thanked those who made it possible for her term as Student Mayor. She commented that she has enjoyed learning about what goes on behind the Council doors. She noted that between debating amendments and finding happy mediums on items on the agenda she was surprised that the meetings are as short as they are.
Rachel noted that some had asked how she could so enthusiastically say yes to being Student Mayor. She indicated that she believes in municipal government and what can be accomplished. She noted that she feels Council is dedicated to the unique things about Barrie that she as a teenager has come to love; including waterfront activities all year round the time and resources that are invested in the downtown so citizens have a place to dine and shop.
In closing, Rachel thanked Mayor Lehman and members of Council for their dedication and all the things they do for the Student Mayor Program. She wished everyone best wishes for the holiday season.
