Mayor of Whitewater Region. Passionate about community involvement and planning for our future. My views here are my own.

And we appreciate the opportunity/engagement! Rural Ontario is full of opportunity and we need unique enablers to help solve our greater housing crisis.

[Paul Calandra @PaulCalandra]

We've also asked rural & Northern mayors to let us know what recommendations will help get homes built in their communities.

So far, we've implemented 23 of the 74 recommendations & many more are in the process of being implemented.

But we know there's a lot more work to do.

Always grateful to hear from representatives from the Township of Whitewater Region at the #AMO Conference.

We discussed remediation of former #Mine sites and opportunities for municipalities to repurpose existing infrastructure.

Went to Arnprior Ag Festival opening ceremonies and got to meet the Ag society president and Mayor McGee. So incredible to see these Ag Society events here and in Beachburg, Cobden, & Renfrew, they reinforce how ag is a huge part of our communities and our ec dev.

RCVTAC is an essential service for the more than 20,000 Renfrew County residents without a family doctor.

Great meeting with the @TownofDeepRiver and @WhitewaterRegio to discuss how to keep our #seniors active, fit and healthy in their communities.

Thank you Minister Cho @RaymondChoPC and PA Wai @DaisyWai_ for your support of our rural seniors and our efforts to create a hybrid Seniors Active Living Centre. We appreciate the Seniors Community Grant, it will be used to help our rural seniors. @WhitewaterRegio @ROMA_Ont

[Neil Nicholson @CouncillorNeil]

Thank you PA Sandhu @sandhuamarjot1 for your input into plans to invest in roads to support Whitewater Region tourism and for advice into plans for active transportation on old rail beds. Thank you for investing into rural cell and broadband. @WhitewaterRegio @ROMA_Ont

“It’s time now for a discussion on needed reforms to municipal finance to finally grant municipalities the revenue tools they need.”

Indeed, it’s well past time. We need a serious conversation among all orders of government. Cities are ready. https://t.co/OXlqpbIpTK

Let’s help my friends @ImperialOil get more kids to play sports. + impacting their mental health. $10 will be donated to @KidSport for every RT of this video until Dec. 8 (up to max. of $100,000) which will go to covering kids’ registration fees for sports. #ad #FuelWhatMatter

This is VERY interesting — imagine if every decision-maker in YOUR city, elected or appointed, was required to experience just a small taste of what it’s like to be a bike-rider on badly designed, unsafe (aka typical) roads?

We only sold to half capacity, but very excited for the first(ever) Upper Valley Bball league games. 2 games decided by less than 5 points. Kids had a blast! Big thanks to volunteers, staff ⁦@FellowesHighSch⁩, and the kids. Also ⁦@RTBIntramurals⁩ for the inspiration!!

[Jamie MacDonald @MayorJamieNG]

@marcusryanzorra Great article that should be read by everyone running for municipal office…

I will continue to advocate for paths and hardened shoulders and signage that makes our roads safer for all forms of transportation. #nicholsonforwhitewatermayor

[Neil Nicholson @CouncillorNeil]

Beachburg Road is getting some sorely needed repair. You will see a resurfacing taking place over the next weeks on Beachburg Rd. This is a County road and they will be adding a 1m hardened shoulder. A welcome upgrade to the bikes, pedestrians and other users. 1/2

[Neil Nicholson @CouncillorNeil]

Feeling much better and got out for some fresh air, put out the last of the signs. Big thanks to my Mom and Dad visiting from Alberta for the help! #nicholsonforwhitewatermayor

[Neil Nicholson @CouncillorNeil]

A shot from last night’s @themuskratwatershedcouncil Mtg. It was a hybrid mtg so I could join from home and keep from spreading my cold. Incredible to see what this mighty grp of volunteers can do. Community grps like this are a priority for me. #nicholsonforwhitewatermayor

[Neil Nicholson @CouncillorNeil]

An update….I’m sick, like in bed sleeping last 72 hours sick. Drinking lots of water and taking Tylenol Cold. I have had to put campaigning on hold but will try to do some phone and virtual meetings now that i have some energy. Thx everyone for the support.

[Neil Nicholson @CouncillorNeil]

What a great evening tonight with the 37th anniversary of the Whitewater Historical Society. Thanks so much to President Janis Tomkinson and her wonderful team for everything they do to preserve and share our proud history. Thank you!
