Provided by Rideau Lakes Township in response to FOI (highlighting added):
July 7, 2023 - Early during the public consultation process on Portland Hall\Library, Councillor Paula Banks asks CAO and Dunfield to respond to her email, where she suggests the only public opinions that matter are from those people who actually have or will use the proposed new hall / library.
Perhaps predictably, given the nature of Councilor Banks' email, it appears based on the FOI response provided, to Rideau Lakes Grassroots Group, there was never a response from at least CAO M. Dwyer.
