It’s OFFICIAL! I’m seeking re-election….
It has been my honour to serve as your Mayor this term. I have spent the past 4 years working to do what you elected me to do – work hard for the residents and businesses of our Town. My focus has always been the job at hand; the day-to-day work that needs to get done to keep our community moving forward in a positive direction.
With Council meetings completed for the summer, I can now turn my attention to the upcoming election. Given my love for this community, it should be no surprise that today I am officially announcing my intention to seek re-election as Mayor.
The past 4 years have been filled with wonderful opportunities and extraordinary challenges — and this Council has much to be proud of. We have seen once in a generation initiatives such as moving forward with the Town Square, but we also had to work together to navigate the impact of the pandemic on our lives and businesses and other worthwhile initiatives. Both proof that leadership that gets things done, is leadership that works with, and for, our community.
As we look to the future, there is always more work to be done. This work requires leadership that is focused on community first. I am proud of my track record of working collaboratively with Council and residents to build our community together. From strategic developments to bringing day business to the core, furthering the revitalization of our downtown to support for local businesses that are the lifeblood of our Community; From fostering the further growth of arts and culture initiatives to the protection of our built and natural heritage; My vision remains firmly on community building – maintaining our small-town charm while continuing to provide the amenities our residents expect.
Over the next two months, as our attention moves to the municipal election and next term of Council, if I am honoured to once again be your Mayor, I look forward to continuing to work together with Council and residents to get things done for our Town. Not only for the present, but for our future.
I hope I can count on your support again this term.
