Welcome to the Georgian Bluffs website where you can find a little more information about your elected representatives. My day job is that I am a sales representative for Parmalat Dairy selling dairy products. I became involved in municipal politics in 1991 as a councillor with the former Derby township, and I enjoy talking to ratepayers about current issues as well as looking to the future for issues that Georgian Bluffs maybe involved with. Please feel free to call me at anytime if you have concerns on decisions that we have made or if their are specific issues that you would like to discuss.

As a long-time resident of the north-western corner of the township, I was delighted to have been elected to Council in 2006. My former municipal experience, serving three terms on the City of London Council, and knowledge; having studied government at University, and reporting Keppel Council news for the Wiarton Echo, have made my entry into local politics relatively smooth, and very interesting. I am currently Chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Environmental Committee. I represent you on the Boards of the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority and the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library. I was elected to represent you and assist you with any questions or problems concerning government, especially municipal government. I am at your service.
