Hello,

My name is Bronwynne Wilton and I am seeking re-election in Ward 5 in the Township of Centre Wellington.

It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as the Ward councillor for Ward 5 for the past 4 years and I hope I can continue in this role for the next term of Council.

During the past four years, I have been a thoughtful, strategic, and effective voice at the Council table. I do my homework and go to meetings prepared to ask the questions that matter to our community.

I approach my role with a focus on long-term strategic thinking about what is best for our community. For example, I was proud to see this term of Council include climate change, for the first time, in our strategic plan. This has resulted in staff initiatives related to energy efficiency, water conservation, innovative infrastructure projects, and urban forestry management. (And that’s just one example of long-term thinking!)

One of my favourite things about being on Council is the people that you meet. Over the past four years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful members of our community. It is truly heartwarming to talk to so many people who care about what’s best for Centre Wellington.

I have also made an effort to understand the role of municipalities more broadly during my first term as Councillor. As an example of this, I was successful in my application to be a non-board Committee member for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This is not only an excellent learning opportunity, but it also means that Centre Wellington has a spot at the table for conversations about issues impacting municipalities across Canada.

Thank you for four wonderful years and I hope with your support that we can do it again!

Bronwynne
