Earlier this month, I filed my nomination papers for municipal council.<\/strong> I am running for a fourth term as Collingwood councillor. I will post a new election website with updated information and campaign content later this winter.<\/p>\n

I would appreciate your support, your trust and your vote. I believe I have earned them during my time on council, and will continue to do my best to serve the residents of Collingwood, and meet the needs of our growing community, when re-elected.<\/p>\n

Until the new website is available, I want to let any eligible Collingwood voters who wish to contact me about issues, events and activities to feel free to do so. You can contact me by email<\/a>. If you want to talk in person, please send me your phone number and a good time to call or to arrange a meeting.<\/p>\n

I have a Facebook page<\/a> where I will also post updates and related municipal content, as I always have done. I will launch a separate Twitter account for political campaigning this winter.\u00a0Should you wish access to my personal Twitter feed (@iwchadwick – not used for political campaign content), please post a follower request on Twitter.<\/p>\n

I stand on my experience, reputation, my integrity and the very positive results<\/a> this council has accomplished this term. This has been the most productive, engaged, open and dedicated council I have served on, and reported on while I was reporter in the local media. I am proud to have been able to serve the town on this council; proud to have contributed to those accomplishments.<\/p>\n

This term I have also been fortunate to share my political and media experiences with other politicians through articles and books published by Municipal World (three books and numerous magazine articles published, with a fourth book and new article due in 2014). I am passionate about municipal politics, about good governance, about public engagement,\u00a0and I hope my writing expresses that.<\/p>\n

I am also passionate about Collingwood. We live in the best community in Ontario: we have exceptional natural beauty; a stunning heritage downtown; low crime; lovely, walkable streetscapes; we have a solid workforce; many employment opportunities; we are centrally located in Ontario’s all-season playground and we have a good municipal staff at town hall to help council implement its strategic goals.<\/p>\n

I love this town, and have been actively involved in it ever since we moved here, almost 25 years ago. I have been engaged as a volunteer on many boards and committees, and participated in service club activity. I believe in giving back to our community to help keep it the best place to live. Being on council has helped me give back in the best way possible.<\/p>\n

If you would like to help my campaign or contribute, please contact me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
