Thank you, Amherstburg! ❤️

The results are in, and I finished in 6th place with 2,631 votes, just 265 votes short of making it into the top five.

Of course, I would have loved a different result, but I am still very thankful for this experience. Over the last few months, I met so many wonderful people, had some great conversations, and learned a lot about our town.

I know I did not make it this time, and that means I still have a lot of work to do and a lot more to learn. But knowing that 2,631 people trusted me and supported me in my very first election means so much. So in many ways, I still feel like I won something from this journey.

Congratulations to all five elected councillors, and also to every candidate who put their name forward. I wish everyone the very best.

To everyone who followed my 100 Days, encouraged me, opened their doors, put up my signs, and voted for me, thank you. And a special thank you to my family for supporting me through all of this.

I chose Amherstburg as my home, and this journey has given me even more reasons to love this town.

Thank you again for everything! ❤️

LAST DAY – ELECTION DAY TOMORROW! ❤️

Well, here we are! Tomorrow is October 26, Election Day, and by tomorrow night, we will know who will be representing Amherstburg on Town Council for the next four years.

I am sure all of us candidates are feeling nervous and excited, including myself. We have spent months campaigning, meeting residents, sharing ideas and answering questions. Tomorrow, we will finally find out how it all comes together.

Yesterday, I asked what you would like to see in Amherstburg 20 years from now. There were some interesting responses, from a community pool and recreational activities to a marina and better traffic lights. But one response really stood out to me. At the end of the day, what matters most is having a safe, affordable community where our children and grandchildren can build their future.

Now, our final question!

"If you could give one piece of advice to Amherstburg's next Town Council, what would it be?"

I think this is a good question to finish our seven days together. Tomorrow we will elect our next Council, but listening to residents should not stop after the election.

I want to thank everyone who participated in these seven days and followed my journey over the past few months. I have learned so much about Amherstburg and its people, and I am grateful for all the conversations and support along the way.

Whatever happens tomorrow, I am glad I took this journey. ❤️

🇨🇦 7 Days. 7 Questions. One Amherstburg.
2 DAYS TO GO!

Yesterday, I asked where you would take someone visiting Amherstburg for the first time.

Navy Yard Park was mentioned by many of you, and I can certainly understand why. From the beautiful waterfront and sunsets to the history surrounding it, it is a special place.

I also enjoyed reading about the local shops, restaurants and other places that make Amherstburg unique. One response described Amherstburg as a mosaic of different places, businesses and people. I really liked that description.

Now, onto today's question!

✉️ 2 DAYS TO GO — QUESTION 6 OF 7

"Imagine Amherstburg 20 years from now. What is one thing you would love to see here?"

It could be something big or small. Something for our children, our families, our seniors or the community as a whole. There are no wrong answers. I would love to hear what you imagine for Amherstburg's future.

I will pick one of my favourite responses and feature it in tomorrow's post.
Looking forward to reading your answers!

🇨🇦 7 Days. 7 Questions. One Amherstburg.
3 Days to Go!

Yesterday, I asked what one small change would make everyday life in Amherstburg a little better.

Quite a few people mentioned traffic lights, traffic flow and congestion in different parts of town. It seems to be a common concern, and something worth looking into. Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts!

✉️ 3 DAYS TO GO — QUESTION 5 OF 7

"If you could show someone who has never been to Amherstburg just ONE place, where would you take them and why?"

It could be a historic landmark, a favourite local business, a park, or even a hidden spot that not many people know about. There are no wrong answers!

I will pick one of my favourite responses and feature it in tomorrow's post.
Looking forward to reading your answers!

🇨🇦 7 Days. 7 Questions. One Amherstburg.
4 Days to Go!

Yesterday, I asked who in Amherstburg deserves a little more recognition.

One response that caught my attention came from Gary Bowerman, who mentioned David P. Botsford. I had never heard of him before, so I decided to look him up. Turns out, he spent much of his life preserving Amherstburg's history and heritage and was even recognized with the Order of Canada.

Thank you, Gary! I learned something new about our town yesterday.

✉️ 4 DAYS TO GO — QUESTION 4 OF 7

What is one small change that would make everyday life in Amherstburg a little better?

It does not have to be something big or expensive. Just something you think would make a difference. It could be something you have noticed for years or something that recently crossed your mind. No wrong answers!

I will pick one of my favourite responses from today's comments and share it in tomorrow's post.

Looking forward to reading your answers!

🇨🇦 7 Days. 7 Questions. One Amherstburg.
5 Days to Go!

Yesterday, I asked what is one thing you miss about the Amherstburg you grew up in, or the Amherstburg you first moved to.

I loved reading all your answers. One that I really liked, came from Terry Beaudoin who shared this wonderful memory:

“I miss battle of the bands ,,in the park once a year AMHERSTBURG residents and there family would come out and hear marching bands from different cities and towns ,they would wear their uniforms,play those instruments,especially the drums and horns ,and twirl those Batons high up into the sky.After, there be fireworks ,hot c***r and donuts.I’m showing my age ,lol,,,simpler times ♥️🇨🇦”

Thank you, Terry! I never experienced this myself, but reading your comment made me wish I had. What a wonderful tradition that must have been!

✉️ 5 DAYS TO GO — QUESTION 3 OF 7

Who is someone in Amherstburg who deserves a little more recognition, and why?

It could be someone from the past or present. Someone who made a difference in your life or in our community. There are no wrong answers.

Just like today, I will pick one response that catches my attention and feature it in tomorrow's post.
I am looking forward to reading your answers!

🇨🇦 7 Days. 7 Questions. One Amherstburg.
6 Days to Go!

Yesterday, I asked what is one thing about Amherstburg you hope never changes, no matter how much our town grows.
I really enjoyed reading everyone's responses. One answer from Emily Zulauf caught my attention.

“Being able to see the river while driving down Front Rd.”

I thought this was a wonderful answer. Sometimes it is the simplest things about our town that mean the most to us. Thank you, Emily, for sharing! ❤️

Now, moving on to our second envelope!

✉️ 6 DAYS TO GO — QUESTION 2 OF 7

What is one thing you miss about the Amherstburg you grew up in, or the Amherstburg you first moved to?

It could be an old business, a favourite place, an event, or simply something you remember from years ago. There are no wrong answers.

Just like yesterday, I will pick one response that catches my attention and feature it in tomorrow's post.
I am looking forward to reading your answers!

🇨🇦 7 Days. 7 Questions. One Amherstburg.

For 100 days, I shared stories about Amherstburg. I spent countless hours researching, visiting places, learning about our town and sharing my thoughts with you.

But one of the things I enjoyed most throughout those 100 days was hearing from you. Reading your comments, learning about your experiences and hearing stories from people who have lived here their entire lives, as well as those who chose to make Amherstburg their home.

Now, with just seven days left before the election, I want to try something different.

I have seven envelopes, numbered from 7 down to 1. Each envelope has a question inside, and every day until election day, I will open one.

Every day, I will pick one response from the previous day's question that caught my attention and feature it in my next post. I am curious to see how differently we all look at the town we call home.

Here we go!

✉️ 7 DAYS TO GO — QUESTION 1 OF 7

What is one thing about Amherstburg you hope never changes, no matter how much our town grows?

I am looking forward to reading your answers!
