In their own words, via the Town
Cindy and I moved our young family to Collingwood in 2009, drawn by a better quality of life to raise our three kids. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with several community groups that support youth programs and believe strongly in contributing to organizations that promote active, healthy lifestyles for youth. I’m a keen cyclist and trail advocate. I ride and walk our dog often on local trails, and I’ve seen what an important asset they have become. We need to keep building on that success—ensuring appropriate and safe active transportation routes around our community for everyone. I have a keen interest in the potential future of a Multi-Use Recreational Facility, that will support people of all ages stay active, connected, and well. I am a small business owner in Collingwood and before starting my business, I worked in commercial real estate across Canada. With a background in business and property operations, project management, and market analysis, I think I can bring a well-rounded perspective to my role as Councillor. Collingwood is growing and evolving. I am passionate about responsible planning that respects Collingwood’s history while building a vibrant and sustainable future.

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.
Something wrong here?
If anything on this page is wrong, say so and it will be corrected and the correction recorded. Everything here is read from Collingwood’s own published documents — where those documents and this page disagree, the documents are right. How this record is made.
