Ward 5 – Wallaceburg Candidates (Number to be elected – 2)
Nicolas Cadotte
Aaron Hall
I was born at the Sydenham Campus, grew up in Wallaceburg and am now raising my family in my hometown. I have two beautiful and smart daughters: Ava, 13 and Daylia, 11. Together with the love of my life Dana, we run our business, the Sydenham Current online newspaper, out of our Wallaceburg home.
Having been a journalist in Wallaceburg for 12-plus years, I’m now seeking a spot in Ward 5 to ensure Wallaceburg has continued and effective representation and leadership on Chatham-Kent Council.
Council has an important responsibility to govern our community, set direction and look for ways to improve and maximize the potential of all of our communities – in the short-term and in the long-term. There are many areas/departments that will require our attention on a continual basis.
I will always take the following approach to making decisions on behalf of Wallaceburg and addressing issues that arise: family-first, open-minded and balanced, professional, educated/informed, respectful, positive and utilizing a team mentality. I will work hard, do my research, listen to our residents and always do what is right for Wallaceburg.
Anyone with questions can call/text me anytime at 519-365-1079 or email me at aaronwilliamhall@gmail.com.
Online voting is NOW OPEN until October 15 at 10 p.m. in #Wallaceburg and across @MunicCK 😊✅ Follow this link to vote: https://t.co/GgwKeBYPh5 #ckont pic.twitter.com/q3ZToevFVE
