It will surprise no one that Gerard Lamontagne walked unencumbered and uncontested into the presidency of the Snow Lake Chamber of Commerce during the group’s annual general meeting, held Sept. 17 in the Legion basement.
The local businessman is a virtual sparkplug within the community with respect to tourism and business development, and his amiable personality and sense of fairness have endeared him in the hearts and minds of many residents.
This wasn’t the only walk on this night; in fact the entire slate of officers put forward at the event will take their positions without having to endure election.
Lamontagne’s executive during the coming one-year term will consist of: vice-president Medhat Geloa, secretary-treasurer Lillian Haines, secretary Jodi Wilson, and directors Garry Zamzow and Peter Purves.
My Take on Snow Lake is published on Fridays.
