Councillors Gail Campbell and Mary Rose have officially declared intentions to seek reelection when Orangeville residents go to the polls October 25.

They join Deputy Mayor Warren Maycock as current council members who have decided to run. Mayor Rob Adams and Councillors Scott Wilson, Gary Kocialek and Sylvia Bradley have yet to announce their intentions.

Ms. Rose and Ms. Campbell will bring a wealth of experience to the table. A former mayor, Mary Rose has served four terms as a councillor, while Gail Campbell has served on council for 13 consecutive years.

Ms. Rose’s current council responsibilities include chairing the economic development committee and the mayor’s senior advisory committee. Boards and committee involvement includes Theatre Orangeville, Georgian College, the Door Advisory Board and the Physicians Search Committee.

“I believe that teamwork is essential for unique lower tier council such as Orangeville’s, with responsibility for hydro, police, fire, library and solid waste services,” Ms. Rose said in a press release. “I am thankful for the ongoing support and trust of Orangeville citizens who have allowed me to work as part of a number of great teams over the years.”

Over the course of her four terms on council, Ms. Campbell has garnered praise for her extensive committee involvement.

While arguably best known for her role as chair of the accessibility committee, she has served with Heritage Orangeville, the joint fire advisory committee, firefighter negotiations committee, economic development commit- tee, diversity committee, and town representative to the Credit Valley Conservation Authority.

Prior committees and boards include the Greater Dufferin Area Chamber of Commerce, Orangeville library board, Hills of Headwaters Tourism, Theatre Orangeville, animal shelter committee and the Orangeville trailways committee.

“I will continue to bring my excitement and enthusiasm to exploring new and innovative ways to constantly improve our community,” Ms. Campbell said in her announcement. “I want to continue working to ensure that Orangeville is a safe, attractive place where people want to live and raise their families.”
