This October, vote:

GARNEAU

Regional Councillor
Wards 3 & 4, Georgetown

I’m Ready for Regional Council

As a Ward 3 Town Councillor and Conservation Halton Board member, I’ve built strong working relationships across the Town and Region.

I do my homework. I ask hard questions and I make decisions based on evidence and informed judgement.

I'm ready on day one to represent Georgetown at the Region.

My Priorities

Georgetown is entering one of the most important chapters in its history. The decisions we make over the next several years will shape our community for decades to come.

Protect what makes Georgetown home

Protect our natural spaces, community character, and the people and organizations that keep Georgetown connected.

Plan responsibly for growth

Make sure infrastructure and services keep pace with growth, are climate resilient, and that the decisions we make today still make sense decades from now.

Keep Georgetown safe and well served

Advocate for the police, fire, infrastructure and community services our families, youth, seniors, and businesses need.

Reduce pressure on residential taxpayers

Address the structural pressures pushing property taxes upward and ensure growth pays for the infrastructure it requires.

Explore all my priorities

I know Georgetown

In order to represent a community, you have to be part of it.

For almost 30 years, I've had the privilege of contributing to Georgetown through community involvement, local business, volunteering and public service.

Community support

  • Gord Krantz, Mayor of Milton, 1980-present

    In my 61 years as a municipal councillor, Mayor and member of Halton Regional Council, I have seen a lot of people come and go.

    I have learned that good municipal decision-making comes down to a few important things: listening to people, understanding the facts, being prepared, and remembering that you are dealing with taxpayers' money.

    I have had the opportunity to work with Chantal through Conservation Halton, and I have observed those qualities in her first-hand.

  • Kelly and Mark Rowe

    She takes the time to listen, consider the facts, and make decisions with the long-term interests of our town in mind.

    We have seen her commitment to Halton Hills first-hand, and we know she will bring that same dedication, experience and common-sense approach to Regional Council.

  • Jane Fogal, Regional Councillor, Wards 3 & 4 2003-2026

    After more than two decades representing Halton Hills at Regional Council, I know that thoughtful decision-making matters. Regional Council requires councillors who take the time to understand the details and consequences of their decisions.

    Chantal has demonstrated that approach consistently. I believe she will bring the same care and thoughtfulness to Regional Council, and she has my full endorsement.

  • Kay Matthews, Downtown Georgetown BIA manager 2004-2011

    Thanks to Chantal we were successful in applying for the grant needed to revitalize downtown Georgetown. Her fiscal guidance, wisdom, and strategic thinking is an inspiration.

    The world needs more Chantal!

  • Paul Henderson and Flo Bellman, Intimate Partner Violence Advocates

    Our family is especially aware of how important it is to have elected representatives who take intimate partner violence issues seriously. Chantal has consistently shown her support for stronger action, for our police services, and for the advocacy needed to make our community safer.
