Candidate Profile
As a college professor at Centennial College I commute to Toronto every day, like so many others residents of Newmarket.
As your ward three representative I will fight hard to hold property tax rates without compromising our community services. Our children are the future, and we as parents and a community must work together. Some of the changes I will push for are more stop signs on residential streets near schools, and more crosswalk lanes. I will also promote responsible corporate planning that is in the best interests of the many residents of ward three.
YOU’RE VOICE AT COUNCIL

Elected as a Ward Councillor in 2003 I have initiated a number of programs to assist in Traffic Issues, and I was also instrumental in procuring the new Stage-Mobile.
My key issues remain Traffic and Transportation Concerns, Community Safety and Quality of Life. I will focus on “Managing our towns resources” … People – Property – Assets

Candidate Profile
I have chosen to run in the Municipal election because I feel that Newmarket residents in general, and ward 4 in particular are not receiving the representation that a councillor should provide. With my background of 30 years service in municipal government, the past 20 in Engineering, I am confident that I can provide the quality of representation that the residents expect.
We have to put a stop on free spending. Elected representatives should be the voice of the people. I would welcome the opportunity to do just that. Represent the people with honesty, integrity, and accountability.

Brad Snell candidate for Ward 7 has decided to throw his hat into the municipal circle for the upcoming November 13 election.
Mr. Snell’s main agenda in entering the candidate’s race is the fact that he wishes to maintain the lush greenery of the region, while attempting to control urban growth of the area. Accessible roads, housing are all factors of a growing area, but the infrastructure has to be in place to initiate these changes!” Mr. Snell quotes
“These and other issues have to be addressed in this upcoming election.’’Mr Snell states
