About me

More than forty years in our community.

I’ve been part of East Hawkesbury’s community life for more than forty years. Born and raised in Ste-Anne de Prescott, I’ve dedicated my time to local organizations, agriculture, cultural events, and municipal governance — always focused on helping our region grow and thrive.

As a lifelong resident and business partner in East Hawkesbury, I understand our community’s priorities and needs. I’ve managed budgets, projects, and organizations with a commitment to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and collaboration with council, staff, and provincial and federal partners.

Supporting Our Township’s Priorities (my Platform)

01

Alto project

I believe in clear communication regarding the Alto project, ensuring residents understand how the project may affect our community today and in the future, listening to concerns and protecting the interests of our region.

02

Natural gas and infrastructure

I plan to reopen discussions with Enbridge to explore options for bringing natural gas service to East Hawkesbury. I’ll also focus on maintaining and improving roads, culverts, and municipal infrastructure through short and long-term planning.

03

Local economic activity

I’ll work to attract new businesses and services to our township, building partnerships with established companies to help revitalize our region. And work hard to help our local business continue to flourish and grow.

04

Grants and community investment

I’ll continue supporting efforts to secure funding through grants and programs that benefit our residents, focusing on revitalizing our parks, community centers, and other services our community members enjoy. I’ll also ensure continued support for our township committees that serve our community.

Proudly serving my community

Ready to continue serving.

After 28 years on council, I stepped back briefly for family and work commitments. Now, with more time available, I’m ready to continue serving our community — listening to residents, encouraging new ideas, and supporting constructive, community-focused decision-making.
