I am pleased to continue, as Deputy Mayor, to bring the knowledge and commitment to work with other members of Council to make Cramahe Township a progressive, caring and affordable community in which to live. My wife, Adria, and I have lived at Little Lake in Cramahe Township since 1988. My experience includes sixteen years on Cramahe Council: Councillor - 1991 to 1994, Deputy Reeve - 1994 to 2000, Reeve/Mayor - 2001 - 2003, Warden of Northumberland County - 2002, Deputy Mayor - 2007 to 2010.
As a dedicated community member, I have been active in the United Way Campaign, VBJ Seniors Centre, College of Veterinarians of Ontario, and Children's Aid Society as a former foster parent. I am Past President of the Colborne Rotary Club and am currently a member of its Board of Directors.
Council Committee involvement has included Lower Trent Conservation Authority, Cramahe Roads Committee, Emergency Measures Organization, Police Services Board, HKPR Health Board, Cobourg Holdings Inc. / Lakefront Utilities, Heritage Cramahe, Cramahe Community Policing, and the Pine Ridge Municipal Planning Authority.
I am knowledgeable about the current issues: high taxes, provision of essential services (water, waste water treatment, police and fire protection), the need for increased industrial and residential development, road maintenance, open communication with residents, and other Municipal concerns. I will work hard to make wise and fair decisions in the best interests of the taxpayers of our Township.
Please feel free to contact me.
