In their own words, via the Town
Taylor hails from Black Donald, where his family has called home for generations. He is a true local lad who grew up hunting, fishing and just enjoying the great outdoors. He is the middle child of three, and has always been older beyond his years. Trees are one of Taylor's biggest passions, thus he started his own tree removal and tree care business around the area. On top of that, he marks timber for a local logging company, helps his parents run their cottage resort, and many other things in between. Needless to say Taylor is a busy guy, but when it comes to fun, no one has more fun then he does!! Taylor loves helping people when he can, and still believes a handshake means something. He felt it was time to give back to the community, so here he is. Winter is his element, laughter is his medicine, family is his everything.
This council rarely calls recorded votes, so individual positions are only on the record where one was demanded. Under the Municipal Act that is the council's choice, not an omission in this record.

What this does not measure
Motions moved is not a measure of effectiveness. Who moves a motion is often a seat convention or a committee role, and the member who does the work on a file is frequently not the one who reads it out.
Nobody is ranked against anybody. These figures are counted against this member's own meetings and are never totalled or compared.
Absence is not explained. The minutes record who was not there and almost never why. Illness, a declared conflict and a family emergency all appear the same way.
What was said is not here. This record reads the minutes, which record decisions, not debate.
Something wrong here?
