“Through careful consideration and legal advice, Council concluded we are not empowered through any legislation to take any action related to this matter. It is our hope the Mayor and Saltwinds Transportation have resolved this between themselves.
“We are concerned for all parties and their families who have been deeply affected by the fallout from the social media posts and comments.
“We are also saddened by the division created in the community, the negative impressions created of our citizens and the national attention given to social media dialogue.
“We look forward to returning to the important business of governing the Town of Lunenburg for the benefit of all of our citizens and the Town. We ask our citizens to treat all those immediately involved with fairness and respect.”
