Build A Safer, Stronger Renfrew Where Hard Work Is Rewarded And Everyone Has A Voice

Strong Mayors Powers:

I want to address the Strong Mayors' Powers that the Ford government has granted to mayors across Ontario and explain how I would use them.

Over the past few years, we've seen these powers used in ways that have raised serious concerns. Here in Renfrew, they have been exercised on several occasions without meaningful input from council. That is not the kind of leadership I believe in.

If I am elected Mayor, I will not use the Strong Mayors' Powers without first seeking the input and support of council. I believe the best decisions are made through collaboration, transparency, and respect for the democratic process. My commitment is to work with council—not around it—to serve the people of Renfrew.

Renfrew is a community with a proud history, hardworking residents, strong local businesses, and tremendous potential.

But as we look toward the future, I believe it is time to ask ourselves an important question: Are we satisfied with where we are today, or are we ready to build a stronger Renfrew for tomorrow?

I believe it is Time for Change.
