A Message from Mayor Lori Hoddinott

I want to begin by thanking the residents and staff of McNab/Braeside for their patience and resilience over the past two years. It has been a challenging time and today marks a new beginning—one focused on stability, progress, and working together for the future of our township. 

It is an honour to step into the role of Mayor, and I want to acknowledge my fellow council members and thank them for their confidence in me. I want to thank Councillor Brum, who has stepped up as Deputy Mayor, for the remainder of this term. With 11 years of council experience, his knowledge and leadership are invaluable.

Our council is a strong and collaborative team, and I am proud to serve alongside them. We have a significant year ahead of us, and there is much work to do. I look forward to continuing our council’s work, ensuring that our township continues to grow and thrive.

We recognize the challenges that come with the global economic uncertainties ahead. We need to buy local, buy Canadian, and strengthen our own economy by investing in our businesses, farmers, and tradespeople right here in McNab/Braeside. When we support our neighbours, we build a more resilient and self-sufficient community—one that can weather economic storms and thrive.

Additionally, with my appointment to Mayor, we now have an open council seat. We are seeking applications from qualified community members who are interested in serving, with a deadline of March 31st. This is an opportunity for someone who is passionate about our township to join us at the council table and contribute to shaping its future.

Moving forward, my commitment to you is simple: to lead with integrity, to listen, and to work hard for the betterment of McNab/Braeside.

Together, we will build a strong, united community that we are all proud to call home.

Thank you.

Lori Hoddinott, Mayor
