A Message from rob...

Over the years, I’ve made a conscious decision not to use social media as a Councillor. That doesn’t mean I’m not accessible. It means I’ve chosen to connect with people in a way that feels more personal, direct, and meaningful.

Throughout my time on Council, my email and cell phone have always been available to anyone who wants to reach me. I believe in listening directly to residents, hearing their concerns, answering their questions, and having real conversations about the issues that matter to our community.

I’ve also always believed that being an effective councillor means being present, not just online, but out in the community. Whether it’s attending local events, volunteering, supporting community initiatives, or simply taking the time to talk with residents face to face, I’ve worked hard to stay connected to the people I represent.

As I seek your support for an upcoming term on Council, I remain committed to being accessible, accountable, and engaged. You can always access me, I`ve always been just a phone call, email, or conversation away.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to continuing to serve our community.
