It is great honour to receive the confidence of Ward 3, the water access community of Pointe au Baril, Ontario, Canada. The Township of The Archipelago is a unique municipality along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay. Our strategic plan places the protection of the environment as the primary strategic imperative in the delivery of municipal services and management of growth within an UNESCO certified biosphere; namely, Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve (GBBR). As Councillor with Councillor Earl Manners, I represent residents in Ward 3 along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, and serve on Municipal Council as a steward of constituent interests for all in the Township of The Archipelago. This encompasses establishing policies and by-laws, adapting them to community input, and working with the Township Staff to provide essential municipal services in a balanced, cost-effective, and environmentally sensitive way. My commitment of transparency to the residents of Ward 3 is evidenced by our Ward 3 newsletter, ‘Bay Notes’, published after every Council meeting. It outlines developments in Council, an explanation of ‘why we should care’, and our critical thinking around the issues of community concern. I am currently Chair of Public Works, Chair of Technology & Connectivity, member of the West Parry Sound EMS Services Advisory Board, Vice Chair of Planning & Development, and other responsibilities on behalf of constituents, Staff, and Council. As a political philosophy, I believe in pragmatic fiscal management, social progressivism, and a world where a strong economy and a healthy environment are not mutually exclusive.
