It's been a busy 24 months since returning to office:
✅Marked the Town’s 50th anniversary and the biggest ⬆️in tourism we have seen in over a decade
✅Lobbied the @ONgov for a new deal and greater investment in #NancyIsland and the longest freshwater beach in the world
(1/2)
✅Engaged directly with residents through meaningful conversations to ensure every voice is valued in shaping our town’s future.
It is a true honour and privilege to serve as your mayor, and I’m excited for all that the future holds for our community.
What a week, here are the highlights:
✅ Hosted a cheque presentation where we celebrated over $55,000 raised in funds at the Mayor’s Charity Rodeo.
✅Recognized Silas King, a 7-year-old hometown hero who showed incredible bravery during a 911 emergency at just 6 years old.
✅Presented to the Kinettes, the Cruisers, and Wasaga Society for the Arts with the help of our CAO and Deputy Mayor Snell, as part of our ongoing speaking tour with local Service Clubs and Community Groups.
✅Attended County Council and Committee of the Whole.
Rain may have kept us inside, but it didn’t stop us from coming together to raise the flag and recognize October 24th 2025 as World Polio Day. #EndPolioNow#RotaryClub

We've been working hard, advocating for a new deal with the province, including greater investment in @WasagaBeachPP and Nancy Island. Our message has been clear: When you invest in making Wasaga Beach a more viable, year-round destination—you're investing in a stronger Ontario.
COUNTDOWN TO @ONgov Budget Day! We're reminding everyone that tourism is a massive economic driver for our province. When you invest in making #WasagaBeach a viable, sustainable, multi-season Ontario destination, you're investing in a stronger Ontario.
