Dear Ward 4 residents,
These past few weeks, I've been talking about how I believe in our community. But today, I need to say thank you for believing in me.
I am so honoured to be able to continue the work as a community advocate on a municipal level. I am so excited to have the opportunity to represent you at Council, and look forward to working with my Council colleagues and Township staff to make good decisions for our community.
I want to thank my team who worked tirelessly in the campaign and invested their time, energy and expertise, and challenged me to dig deeper and think harder.
I also want to say thank you to the other candidates. Becky, Simon, and Michael have put so much energy into their campaign and have great ideas for our Ward. I look forward to learning from them about what they heard from residents and business owners on the campaign trail, and how we can work together to make sure your needs are met.
I've heard so many of your ideas and concerns already, which has prepared me well for these next steps. Over the next few weeks, I plan to reach out to the residents of Ward 4 to gather ideas and concerns and set priorities for action. (We are already planning a walking tour in Schomberg to open a dialogue with youth, so keep an eye out for that!)
The future of King Township and Ward 4 will be collaborative and community-oriented. I hope you'll continue to join me on this journey!
With (many many many) thanks,
Mary Asselstine
Ward 4 Councillor Elect
