Hi Neighbour,

October 24th marked the one year anniversary of my election win. Highlights from my first year as a Ward 3 Town Councillor include:

  • Improving communication through newsletters and coffee time get-togethers
  • Accelerating the MA Revitalization Project
  • Implementing automated speed camera pilot program
  • Working with Town staff to update procedural Bylaws
  • Promoting new business openings and economic development
  • Volunteering with North Union Community Group
  • Supporting local artists, charitable and cultural groups
  • Reviewing potential improvements in the community through participation in the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Conference

I’m grateful to represent our caring community and want to express my appreciation for residents who look out for one another, whether its lending a helping hand at the local food bank, raking leaves for seniors, or volunteering on a committee that supports our Town. Its a privilege to serve you. Your contributions are valued. Thank you!

Concerned about the lack of transit options in EG?
