MEET JUSTIN
MEET JUSTIN
I was born and raised here and am the fourth generation of my family to call this community home. With roots stretching back generations, my connection to the area runs deep . Today, my wife Karen and I are proud to be raising our boys here, continuing that family connection to the community that we love. Some of my favourite times are spent with my family, fishing and enjoying Georgian Bay. It's a big part of why I love living here and something I'll never take for granted.
After owning and operating a successful local business for more than 15 years, I understand the importance of hard work, responsible decision-making and listening to people. I am comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor, familiar with construction and the kind of hands-on work that keeps a community moving. My connection to Meaford goes far beyond business. I care deeply about families, seniors, young people, workers, and residents who make up our Municipality, and believe everyone deserves to be respected and heard.

I want to bring a practical, common-sense approach to Town Hall and make sure all voices are heard, and work toward a strong and positive future for Meaford.

The Municipality of Meaford is made up of many unique communities, from Annan, Balaclava and Leith to Bognor, Woodford and Rockford and many rural communities in between.

YOUR QUESTIONS, MY ANSWERS
YOUR QUESTIONS, MY ANSWERS
An open conversation is an important part of building a stronger community. Here are my thoughts on some of the issues that matter to Meaford.
How will you represent the whole municipality?
How will you represent the whole municipality?
Every community in our municipality deserves to be heard. Rural roads, local services and the needs of our smaller communities matter just as much as issues downtown. My approach is simple: listen across the municipality and consider how decisions affect everyone. Whether you live in town, in a village or on a rural road, your concerns deserve attention.
How will you approach property taxes and municipal spending?
How will you approach property taxes and municipal spending?
Residents deserve to know their tax dollars are being spent responsibly. I will ask practical questions about spending, focus on essential services and infrastructure, and look for ways to improve how the municipality operates. We need to consider both what residents can afford today and the costs our decisions leave for the future.
What does open and accountable government mean to you?
What does open and accountable government mean to you?
It means explaining decisions clearly, making information easier to find and listening to residents before important decisions are made. You may not agree with every decision, but you should understand how it was reached and know that your concerns were considered. I believe respectful discussion and clear communication should be the standard.
How will you balance growth with protecting what makes Meaford special?
How will you balance growth with protecting what makes Meaford special?
I support thoughtful growth that respects our communities and natural surroundings. New development should be considered alongside the roads, infrastructure and services needed to support it. We should welcome opportunities while protecting the character and quality of life that make Meaford a place people are proud to call home.
