All candidates that haven't served on council, how many town meetings have you…

I haven't attended in person to many meetings but I have watched on YouTube most evenings. There are several current councillors who can attest to that as I've asked follow up questions and shared my different positions with them. So I don’t want to give a number that may be inaccurate. My preparation has included watching meetings, reviewing Council agendas, staff reports, budgets, minutes and recorded meetings, and speaking directly with residents about the issues affecting them. Since deciding to run, I have spent considerable time researching the decisions facing New Tecumseth and understanding how they were reached. I don’t believe simply occupying a seat in the gallery demonstrates preparedness. What matters is doing the homework, asking questions, listening to residents and understanding the information Council will be expected to consider.
