In their own words, via the Town
I am a retired Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) after a 30 -year career in occupational safety as a trainer and Safety Program Developer. My family also operated a cattle and crop farm in Temiskaming over the same 30-year period. For the last 10 years I’ve been a road safety advocate after my family lost our son and brother, Danny, at the age of 17. Danny along with his friend Andrew were killed when they were passengers in a vehicle involved in a head-on crash on Highway 11 in Northern Ontario. I am also the Volunteer Resource Member for the GEMS Committee (Going the Extra Mile for Safety) in Temiskaming Shores Ontario, a group that has been advocating for 2+1 roads in Northern Ontario. I am a member of the Vision Zero Alliance in Ontario; a group established by Parachute Canada and the Ontario Traffic Council to encourage and influence road authorities to adopt safe system design on their roads. I am a board member of Safer Roads Canada, a group advocating for safety improvements to the Trucking Industry. I also served on the board of the Temiskaming Foundation for the last 4 years of his term as President. When I’m not doing the above, I operate a small building and renovation company.

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.
