Amazing Ward 1 Generosity!

Three weeks and two days from today Ajax votes.

It continues to amaze me how generous electors in Ward 1 have been to me during the last three weeks. I really want to thank all of you for your hospitality and the kindness you’ve shown me.

Saturday, for example, after 6 hours of door knocking, the offers of a bathroom and a cup of tea on a cool day were unexpected and wholly welcome.

And it’s those unexpected events along the way that provide those insights into people’s nature. Like the gentleman that was adamant he was he was not getting involved in the election, but after considering my vigorous rebuttal, not only agreed to vote,  but asked for a campaign sign for his lawn! Thank you sir!   

And it’s the unsolicited offers from church leaders of a venue to hold future community Town Hall meetings in Ward 1. 

And it’s witnessing first hand that a smile and a kind word can motivate people to help a less fortunate and unknown neighbour.

People of Ajax will always have their differences. That’s just natural. Those differences however, are the threads that bind us together as a community, and as a community of communities. And that’s where we’ll find solutions to present to the next Town Council.
