Team Wasaga is about more than six candidates. It's about every resident, neighbour and friend who has benefited from a reopened Walk-In Clinic. It's about every family whose children will attend our two new high schools. It's about everyone who has seen the progress our community has made over the past four years and wants to keep that momentum going.
Together, we have helped secure the largest investments in Wasaga Beach's history. But our work is not finished. Now is the time to keep moving forward—not change course or stall the progress we've made.
We respectfully ask for your support and encourage you to share our vision with your family, friends and neighbours.
Let's Keep It Going.
It's Our Time. It's Our Future.

Thank you. Serving as your Mayor these past few years has been the honour of a lifetime, and none of the progress we've made would have been possible without the trust, patience and involvement of Wasaga Beach residents. Together, we've steadied the ship, worked as a team and moved our community forward — welcoming new doctors, opening new spaces, investing in the roads and services people rely on every day, and planning carefully for what comes next. There is real momentum in Wasaga Beach right now, and I'm asking for your support to keep that momentum going. With a united, experienced team at the table, we can build on everything we've started and deliver an even stronger future — together. Let's keep it going.
