7 years as Councillor

After 7 years, today is my last day as Councillor for the City of Waterloo. Last night I made my closing comments in Council. My speaking notes are below. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on Council as the city moved from the dark days of RIM Park to the thriving community we have now. I am both proud and privileged to have been your representative during these times. We have a great and active community, and it have been a pleasure to work with everyone who want to make us a better place to work, live and play.

Many have asked what I will do doing next. I have made no decisions yet, other than find a "paid leadership position". I do hope to keep involved in some way in the municipal level, and who knows what opportunities will present themselves. In the meantime, I am becoming board member at The Clay and Glass and on the GRCA, and have applied to be on the City of Waterloo Trails and Transportation committee.

I wish the current Council the best of success. Thank you to all.
