Thank you. Serving as your Mayor these past few years has been the honour of a lifetime, and none of the progress we've made would have been possible without the trust, patience and involvement of Wasaga Beach residents. Together, we've steadied the ship, worked as a team and moved our community forward — welcoming new doctors, opening new spaces, investing in the roads and services people rely on every day, and planning carefully for what comes next. There is real momentum in Wasaga Beach right now, and I'm asking for your support to keep that momentum going. With a united, experienced team at the table, we can build on everything we've started and deliver an even stronger future — together. Let's keep it going.
