2022 Orillia Ward 4

'I think that there’s a really interesting mix on council,' said Janet-Lynne Durnford following her election as a Ward 4 representative on city council

All six Ward 4 candidates answered questions on six different topics ranging from city infrastructure, local poverty, and climate change

'I think every new council needs a good mix of fresh ideas and experience, and I think I can provide both,' says Ward 4 candidate

Joe Winacott used city logo on brochure and was ordered to remove it; candidate said it was 'an error' on his part and immediately removed logo

Volunteer experience has 'taught me leadership skills and decision-making skills and consensus-building skills,' says Ward 4 hopeful Paula Hill-Coulson

'I want to make sure the next four years leave Orillia in a better spot than it is in right now,' says Joe Winacott who is running in Ward 4

Pat Reid vows 'common sense' approach, calls for better roads and sidewalks, responsible spending and improved communication

'I think my biggest hope for the next four years, would be ... really ensuring that Orillia isn't just sustainable, but it's thriving,' said Durnford

'It was a very hard decision. I didn't take this lightly, but I think there's lots of great other candidates out there, and that made it much easier for me to step aside'

'I just feel like council seems a little bit disconnected from the citizens, so I'd really like to, as much as I can, be a voice for the city,' said Ward 4 hopeful Tyson Renshaw
