CHRIS CULHANE

I do not have any fancy degrees, and I do not belong to any special organizations. What I do have is a lifetime of experience living and working in Brockville. I have spent my career as a mechanic, owned and operated a business downtown, and built my life right here in our community.

Through my work and life experiences, I have learned the value of hard work, common sense, accountability, and getting things done right the first time. I believe those qualities are important on City Council, and I am asking for your support.

One of the reasons that I decided to run is because of my experience serving on the Tall Ships Committee this past year. I truly enjoyed working alongside committee members, city staff, volunteers, and sponsors to help deliver a successful event that showcased Brockville to visitors from across the region. It showed me what can be accomplished when people work together toward a common goal.

If elected, I believe there are several important issues that must be addressed. Homelessness in Brockville needs to be a priority. We need to work with all levels of government to develop practical solutions that help people access the support they need and find stable, long-term housing.

Affordable housing is also a major concern. Increasing the supply of affordable housing will help strengthen our community and provide more opportunities for residents to stay and thrive in Brockville.

Finally, responsible asset management will be one of the key challenges facing Council in the coming term. I will work hard to ensure taxpayers’ dollars are spent wisely and that residents receive the best value for their money.

I am committed to listening, working hard, and putting the interests of Brockville residents first.

I would be honoured to earn your support.
