Town of Perth Welcomes New Director of Legislative Services/Clerk

The Town of Perth is pleased to announce the appointment of Amanda Noël as the new Director of Legislative Services/Clerk. Having lived and worked in Lanark County for several years, Amanda brings a breadth of knowledge to this position as well as connections throughout the region. Previously Amanda has held positions with the Township of Drummond/North Elmsley, County of Lanark, and, most recently, the Township of Lanark Highlands.

This role is critical to the municipality as it's responsible for ensuring compliance with numerous pieces of legislation including the Municipal Act, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, enacting by-laws, conducting municipal elections, providing advice and guidance to Council regarding legislation that governs the municipality, supervising by-law enforcement, the Provincial Offences Court, and more.

"Amanda comes to Perth following an extensive career in the municipal field, with knowledge spanning various departments. I am excited to have her join our team and look forward to working alongside her," states Michael Touw, CAO. "Perth residents are fortunate to have her stepping into this role, which is integral to the community."

Amanda's first day will be June 1, 2024, where she will have a period of training and transition with incumbent Susan Beckel before Susan retires. We welcome Amanda to the Town of Perth and look forward to having her join our leadership team at this critical time as we continue to grow.
