I’m Rob Nicol and I am running for re-election as councillor of Ward 7 in Innisfil to continue to provide common-sense decisions on your behalf at council.

Innisfil has changed and in four short years. We have encouraged innovation and outside the box thinking. We have changed the culture and structure of your local government and Innisfil is now renowned and has won multiple awards for problem-solving initiatives such as Innisfil Uber and IdeaLAB.

So about me… After spending countless seasons enjoying Lake Simcoe, I was able to move here permanently in 2005.

My eight-year-old son and I love the recreational lifestyle that we have here in Gilford. I volunteer as president of the Shore Acres Association, was chair of the Gilford Community Hall, and co-ordinate the annual Jakestock festival. All of this while still working my day job at Moosehead and running my part-time septic restoration business.

As for council, I have a proven track record and am known to dig into the issues to make informed decisions based on the facts. I always provide everyone with the truth regardless of whether it is popular to do so, and I always will.

We do have some very tough decisions coming up with many water, wastewater and hydro needs that will require creative funding to meet them. We will need the development community to fully fund the infrastructure for their developments. We will also need to invest in power generation to realize the true financial benefits from the annexed lands.

We all need strong and experienced individuals to make these decisions, and I truly am that person for you.

I hope you will continue to put your trust in me and my dedication to all of our interests.

Thank you,

Rob Nicol
