In their own words, via the Town
I am pleased to be newly elected as councillor in the community in which I was born and raised. After living in Southern Ontario, I was happy to return home in 2017. I have been employed by Ontario Power Generation for the past 25 years, most recently as a Planning Officer. I spent 15 years as a volunteer firefighter, and I currently volunteer my time to several worthy organizations. I enjoy the outdoors and I am an active member of Bike Temiskaming Shores and Nastawgan Trails. I am married with 3 daughters, and an extended family in the area. I look forward to serving the community in the years to come.

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.

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.
