Keep Oct 18th and the subsequent days in your calendar open folks. As Clarington residents you will have the power to elect council. All my fellow ward 1 ers will also have the power to elect a NEW representstive. Do your research on who you want to represent YOU! It's not about how many signs you see it's about who will represent you better, who has the education and experience to further the community that we live in and love!

I encourage and have encouraged open discussions and thank you for all the questions and suggestions.

If elected as your ward 1 councillor, I know my public health education and experience will be utilized to make our community a better place to live!

A huge thank you for the support. I am thankful and appreciative of all the strong words of support, feedback and positivity!

As a member of the Ontario Public Health Standards,I talk a little about Built Environments on my website. An active individual myself, I am extremely supportive of Active Communities. Therefore I have taken the pledge. Please for visit further information http://www.activecommunitiespledge.ca

Thanks to the wonderful physios at Active Recovery in Courtice for the treatment! Pounding the pavement takes it's toll but not today!

Another beautiful day of canvassing in the ward 1 community. Great meeting and chatting with everyone. Not only do I appreciate the support, I also appreciate all your requests for lawn signs

Let's go canvassing. I'll be canvassing today. Drop me a personal msg if you would like to join. The more the merrier!

Come meet new people in the community. All ages welcome!

Cannot say 'Thank You' enough! For the support, for the encouragement, and for the chats on how we can make our community better.

Just read a great article on how councillors in the Hamilton area are allowing urban farms, community gardens and faem stands in reaidential and institutional areas, open space and parks.

I remember watching a ted talk( http://youtu.be/EzZzZ_qpZ4w) on how residents of Compton started growing gardens on their boulevards bc fresh produce wasn't acessible. Having farms and fresh produce so close here in Clarington makes us extremely lucky. The hamilton article is somewhat similar.

We have so much open space in Clarington. Why not visit this idea. Create community gardens which will bring residents and the community together over a lunch or dinner that was made with the local bounty.

Here's the article. Let me know what u think. Drop me a line if u have any questions.

I am grateful that Clarington families support me in my quest to becoming your potential local ward 1 councillor. I will continue to work hard, and be the representative that you want!

I absoutely cannot praise my supporters enough. I will keep showing my appreciation to all those who have supported me.

I had the pleasure of sitting in on last nights council meeting. I attended as a spectator to support the Enniskillen Environmental Association (a non-profit group who's aim is to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine thereby looking after the health of Ontarions) http://www.change.org/en-CA/organizations/enniskillen_environmental_association

They are a group of citizens standing up for residents against hydro one and the proposed construction of the super transformer in Enniskillen.

Dr. Cherry, a very well respected professor, researcher and hydrogeologist had a very informative non-biased presentation on the -ve impact that this 'super transformer' WILL have on not only the oak ridges morraine but Ontarios interconnected aquifers and safe drinking water sources. He advised council that there is a need for further studies before a conclusion can be met and that this is also a landmark case in the protection and sustainment of the health of the moraine.

As a Health science graduate, and a post university graduate in public health. I know the importance of safe drinking water! Water is the basis of all life and we have to protect it....bottom line!

Please check out both websites and support the EEA and Clarington in protecting our groundwater!

The support that i've been receiving from residents of ward 1 is outstanding and humbling.

I'm appreciative that many residents are supporting me by placing a sign on their immaculate properties. It's not always about the number of signs candidates put up but the suppprt behind the signs!

I look forward to meeting ALL you ward 1 'ers, and will continue to work hard to be your potential representative

Having played sports (lacrosse, soccer, hockey) all my life. I know importance they represent not only to the community, but to the sports enthusiast and even the business community.

Look at Iroquois recreation complex in whitby. Sports tournaments generate a thriving economy for all the local businesses around. Hotels, restaurants, etcc

I commend Clarington on a job well done and am looking forward to visiting the turf: as a player, an avid sports enthusiast and as a community member.

You can enter your postal code and go from there.

Please vote. Let's try to get over the 50% mark!

What a great idea! This is the first time i've seen this. OPG is subsidizing the purchase of trees. I haven't had a chance to visit the site but it is a great way to help our environment and clean our air.

Take advantage if you can! www.mybackyardtree.ca check it out for more info.

Rise and grind everyone! Hard work always trumps!

A little pre-work...before the start of a work day never hurt anyone.

Having a full time career in public health and being a candidate for ward 1 councillor for the municipality of Clarington makes me incredibly busy, but I love every minute of it.

I love meeting residents of the community and enjoy hearing their questions, positive feedback and support.

Over a 100 twitter followers in less than a month, residents of ward 1 contacting menfor signs, and some canvassing thrown into the mix.

My campaign for Clarington ward 1 council is picking up steam!

It's an absolutely exciting yet extremely busy time.

If you want to join the team, help out in any way or if you want a lawn sign to support.... Feel free to contact me.

I'm humbled and very appreciative over all the support and postitive feedback i've received so far.
