This October,
re-elect John Hirsch
Councillor for
South Marysburgh

Dear South Marysburgh,

 

A lot has changed in the past eight years. But one thing that's stayed the same is my passion for responsible management of our environment, our heritage and our County.

​

As your councillor, I'm proud to have: 

• Initiated a daily health and Community update to help keep people informed

• Helped many residents navigate the County Planning process

• Played a key role in South Marysburgh committees and boards

• Represented the interests of South Marysburgh at Council

• Led the charge against the illegal activities at Picton Terminals

• Championed the County's new Asset Management Plan and Climate Action Plan

• Worked with major developers to ensure planned water and wastewater infrasructure is paid for by them up front

• Advocated for the resurfacing of almost all roads in South Marysburgh

• Been an active member of multiple County committees

• Listened to and consulted with South Marysburgh residents through multiple
  communications channels

• Continued to support the County position of saying no to industrialization of public lands

• Advocated for the new Monarch Point Conservation Reserve

• Championed requests for speed control, traffic calming and road repairs

• Analyzed issues and worked with councillors to find innovative solutions

I'm running for re-election because I want to do more for the people of South Marysburgh. Many issues were not properly dealt with by this last Council due to lack of knowledge or understanding of a number of Councillors. I am certain that under the leadership of my choice for Mayor, Ernie Margetson, we will do much better. Known for my diligent studying of reports,thoughtful consideration, impeccable ethics and absolute love of the County, I will continue to help ensure that County government is fair, efficient and transparent.

 

As your full-time councillor, you can count on me to listen to your concerns and ideas, advocate for what is best for South Marysburgh and the County as well as keep you informed.

 

Protecting South Marysburgh’s natural environment, heritage and way of life are my key promises to you.

​

South Marysburgh is an integral part of Prince Edward County. Home to rare and fragile public lands, dozens of new and established small businesses as well as more than 1,000 residents, it is a place that we all take pride in.
