Morris reeve in by acclamation Melody White During her two and a half year tenure on Morris Twp. council, Councillor Melody White has served on the Wingham Area Fire Board and the Farm Safety Association.

"I will strive to have the fire agreements revised to allow the Brussels Fire Department to have sole coverage to the homes at the edge of Brussels, in close proximity to the available fire hydrants," she said. "I would also enlarge the first response area for the Brussels department, in the areas that are closest to the village." "I believe my two and a half years on council has been a valuable experience and would like the opportunity to continue serving our residents on issues such as amalgamation, the landfill site and 9-1-1.
