In their own words, via the Town
I am privileged to be an active part of our community with 14 years of municipal council experience. I moved to Haileybury in 1988 to work at Northern Telephone Ltd. as the Manager of Corporate Finance, promoted to senior management and Vice-President. I have recently retired from RBC where I was the branch manager. I came here because of the people, the hockey, the baseball and a good job which would allow me to support my family. My wife Mairead and I have two sons, Sean (Bethany) and Cavan (Molly) and one granddaughter Líle. I am blessed to have all of them living in Temiskaming Shores! I enjoy being active! I walk my dogs, golf, curl, snowshoe and ski but what I enjoy most is spending time with Líle.

This council rarely calls recorded votes, so individual positions are only on the record where one was demanded. Under the Municipal Act that is the council's choice, not an omission in this record.

In the record
What this does not measure
- Motions moved is not a measure of effectiveness. Who moves a motion is often a seat convention or a committee role, and the member who does the work on a file is frequently not the one who reads it out.
- Nobody is ranked against anybody. These figures are counted against this member's own meetings and are never totalled or compared.
- Absence is not explained. The minutes record who was not there and almost never why. Illness, a declared conflict and a family emergency all appear the same way.
- What was said is not here. This record reads the minutes, which record decisions, not debate.
