I’ve worked with Joel on a number of issues while he has been a Councillor and have been impressed with his responsiveness, willingness to listen and to take concerns forward to Council. He’s working hard to improve our communities, protect the natural environment and municipal processes. He will do a great job as Deputy Mayor.

I've known Joel personally for several years now, both through his work on municipal council and as a member of my local community. I strongly endorse him as a family-oriented and community-minded voice for Deputy Mayor of Grey Highlands.

Joel looks to the future and sees something worth fighting for. He listens to others and then acts with integrity and intention. Our council is best with Joel Loughead as Deputy Mayor.

I strongly support Joel Loughead in his bid for Deputy Mayor of Grey Highlands. During his time on council he has proven himself to be a strong representative, committed to community values, transparency, common sense and true sustainability – both economic and environmental. He has demonstrated a thorough understanding of local issues and great integrity – important skills needed for this new role.

I bought my farm in 1973 and have been a resident in the former Township of Euphrasia, now the Municipality of Grey Highlands ever since. I voted for Joel in 2022 and, without any hesitation whatsoever, I endorse him as our next Deputy Mayor. Joel listens to us. He genuinely believes in local democracy. He respects and understands the concept of community and always keeps the rural nature of our municipality top of mind. This is so important. I will encourage my neighbours and friends to vote for Joel because he will continue to work hard and represent our agricultural concerns while fighting for the preservation of our watersheds, farmland and continuous natural corridors.
