Ward One Councillor Jeff Lackie has officially resigned from his seat on the Township of Leeds and Thousand Islands Council, announcing the decision in a post to his Facebook page on March 31, 2026.
In his message, Lackie thanked residents for trusting him to represent their concerns over the years and expressed gratitude to council colleagues and staff. He acknowledged that changing circumstances made the timing right for his departure, even if it may not be ideal for some.
“I have enjoyed my time immensely because of the residents I have encountered and experiences I have learned from,” Lackie wrote, wishing the council, staff, and community well in the future.
The township will determine the process to fill the vacant Ward One seat in the coming weeks.
