A Record of Experience and Service to Gravenhurst, Muskoka, and our Lake Associations.

Sure, council experience has value. What matters is a lifetime of community service, leadership, and business experience. Gravenhurst needs a Mayor who can see the bigger picture, bring people together, and help our community reach its fullest potential.

That’s the experience I’ve spent a lifetime building.
