What I'm About
Hi I’m Ethan. I believe local government works best when it's focused on delivering real results for local taxpayers. Residents deserve a councillor who is committed to showing up, doing the work, and advocating on behalf of their community every day. That's the standard I'll bring to Ward 5.
I grew up in Trent Hills, and now call the Hastings area home. I know that Trent Hills, and Ward 5 in particular, is a community with incredible strengths: dedicated local businesses, hard-working volunteers, and residents who care deeply about where they live. As a Ward 5 resident myself, I’m committed to representing us with accountability, transparency, and respect, while being accessible and ready to deliver tangible results for this community.
I’d be honoured to earn your vote.
