Monday, October 25th is election day. Many of you will have already completed and mailed in your ballots. If you have not yet done this, I encourage you to take the time to deliver your ballot personally to the Township office in Port Severn. As long as you deliver your ballot prior to 7:45 p.m. on Monday the 25th, your vote will be counted.
Note: There is a mail slot to the left of the main doors of the Township office if you decide to drop off your ballot over the weekend. Make sure to complete your hand delivered ballot in the same way you would had you mailed it in – a video tutorial can be found on the left hand side of this blog.
As my campaign wraps up, there are a few important acknowledgements that I would like to make. First, I must thank my family for their support throughout the campaign. A campaign takes some endurance and would have been difficult without, in particular, Anita’s amazing help. Also, along the way, I have been assisted by so many supportive constituents, neighbours and friends. I cannot thank you all enough.
As always, I have been impressed by the voters for their support, interest and commitment to their community. I appreciated having had the opportunity to meet many of you face-to-face and to respond to your thoughtful questions and concerns.
In a recent CBC radio documentary about the quality of great leadership, it was noted that when we speak about leadership we often focus on the “I.” However, the program went on to assert that a leader cannot lead without a group willing to follow. Hence, leadership is in actuality more about the “we.” Hopefully Monday will bring me the privilege of working for another four years as your Mayor. If this is the case, I am eager for us to be again working together to improve the quality of life in our township for all residents.
