Elect Wendy Farrow-Reed
for Regional Council
Wards 3 & 4
Your Interests, My Passion, Our Region
Why I am ready to represent you as Regional Councillor.
- I have always had the goal, as my experience grew, to earn a seat on Regional Council and welcomed the challenge when the opportunity arose to represent both Ward 3 and Ward 4.
- I have lived my whole life and flourished in Georgetown for 58 years. So, I feel I care about our town in the same ways that YOU do! Like all of us, I want to protect the feel of our small towns, our green environment and our quality of life, which is renowned, even beyond our province.
- I believe in thoughtfully planned and wisely controlled growth of urban and rural spaces where residents, businesses and industries can thrive in harmony. This requires the building and strengthening of partnerships at all levels of government.
One of the hallmarks of our municipality and region is the stability and civility manifested in the halls of government and in mutual respect with the citizenry. I will nurture that culture in every act I do and every role I have the privilege to play.
What is the role of a Regional Councillor?
As the Municipal Councillor for Ward 3 for the last four years, I’ve had four main roles to play in our municipality:
- I am a representative of the people and our community
- I am a policy maker to draft laws
- I am a steward to ensure that the municipality’s financial and administrative resources are being used as efficiently as possible.
- I am a voice for those I represent
I thrived in my role as your Ward 3 Councillor representing you at our local Council meetings. I have influenced many decisions brought to Council’s attention concerning by-law enforcement, land use (new developments) and fire services – to name a few.
As your new Regional Councillor for Ward 3 and 4, I will continue to do what I did as a local Councillor, with the added responsibility of being ready to influence regionally controlled services such as regional roads, regional land use, sanitary sewage treatment, social services (e.g., seniors’ services, long term care facilities).
I will commit to my full participation in both of the monthly Council meetings and committee meetings in between.
"Wendy Farrow Reed is the candidate for Halton Regional Council for Wards 3 and 4 which encompasses all of Georgetown. This is a full-time job and in the next term of Council the decisions made will affect this community for the next twenty years. Growth is coming as mandated by the Province of Ontario and we need a strong voice at the Region (Halton Hills only has three votes at the table).
I have known Wendy for 20 years and I always wonder where she gets the energy from. She has always worked two jobs and volunteers countless hours to many worthwhile causes. When she was manager of the Georgetown BIA, I had the pleasure of working with her on the branding and marketing plan.
Wendy, in her first term watched, learned, listened and brought a fresh perspective to Halton Hills Council. It is a natural progression to move to the Region to represent our concerns in the larger forum.
It is important to vote in municipal elections as this level of government has more impact on our daily lives than either the provincial and federal government."
What distinguishes me as your future Regional Councillor?
- I live in and know the community of the regional ward I will represent.
- Decisions made today will set precedent for neighbouring wards.
- I have demonstrated talents for team building, mentoring and coaching from on-the-job experience, so, as I hit the ground running as Regional Councillor, I can help newly elected Councillors adapt to and learn their new roles.
- I am ever present in the community and participate at many local events because engaging with and learning from you is what I love to do.
Five Things I feel strongly about
- I care about and contribute to the issues we as a municipality can influence both locally and regionally.
- I champion causes and organizations that directly support and keep services in our community.
- I believe in housing, programs and activities for all. An all-inclusive community does more than support persons with disabilities and is a place where everyone belongs.
- I believe in responsible growth and intensification that aligns with the services to support the growth.
- Active Living. I am passionate about health and wellbeing enabled by local parks, services, organizations and community connections.
I offer a clear and sustainable voice for Wards 3 & 4 at your Regional Council
"I worked closely with Wendy in her former role as BIA Manager for Downtown Georgetown. She listens and knows how to find a consensus that produces results."
