Newsletter: Meet Your Council: A Historic Milestone for Argyle

Published: June 12, 2025

On November 7, 2024, the Municipality of Argyle reached an exciting and historic milestone with the swearing-in of its 50th Council. At the heart of this moment was the appointment of Nicole Albright as Warden—the first woman in Argyle’s history to hold the position. Joined by Deputy Warden Ted Saulnier, this new Council brings a renewed commitment to progress, community connection, and inclusive leadership.

The newly elected and returning councillors represent every district of the municipality, each bringing unique experiences, voices, and priorities to the table. From infrastructure and public safety to recreation, economic growth, and health care, the Council is united in its goal to make Argyle a thriving, safe, and welcoming place for all.

We invite residents to read the full 2025 Council Newsletter to learn more about each councillor, their backgrounds, and their visions for the communities they serve.

Ongoing Commitment to Accessibility, Equity, and Inclusion

Published: May 29, 2025

The Municipality of the District of Argyle remains committed to building a community where everyone feels welcome, respected, and able to participate fully in civic life.

Through our Accessibility Plan (2025–2028), we continue to take meaningful steps to identify and remove barriers in municipal programs, services, and spaces. This work ensures that individuals of all abilities have equitable access to the resources and opportunities our municipality offers.

Our Equity and Anti-Racism Strategy also reflects our recognition that historical and systemic discrimination continues to affect members of our community. This strategy guides our efforts to promote fairness, dignity, and respect through inclusive policies, education, and dialogue.

In support of these initiatives, we also provide an Interactive Accessibility Map—a digital tool designed to help residents and visitors locate accessible municipal infrastructure, including buildings, parking, transit stops, trails, and public washrooms.

These efforts reflect our ongoing responsibility to create a more inclusive and equitable Argyle for all.
