Volunteer Coordinator

I didn't support the change from Alderman to Councillor back in the day because I still feel in my heart that Public Representative best describes the job if done properly. Shaughna is my pride and joy. She will make an excellent Public Representative who won't let you down.

Dianna DiGiulio

I am voting for Shaughna because she 'gets it' about the issues in Ward 1!! Shaughna reminds me of my brother Mike Ramsay, a Barrie City Councillor for 13 years – because she will be a strong and outspoken advocate for us at City Council. Shaughna listens and wants to know about our concerns because she cares and wants the best for Ward 1!
