About Joel

I live with my wife Frances, and our son, Calvin, in the beautiful village of Kimberley. We love to get out and enjoy Grey Highlands’ natural surroundings—paddling Lake Eugenia, fly fishing the Beaver River, rock climbing at Old Baldy, hiking the Bruce Trail, skiing at Kolapore… the opportunities are endless.

I feel incredibly lucky to live in such a safe, vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community.

I chose to live in Grey Bruce Owen Sound for its natural beauty, strong sense of community, and family-friendly environment. I want to keep it that way!

I studied philosophy before becoming a professional wine and cidermaker. I love crafting delicious flavours from the beautiful fruits we're able to grow in Bruce and Grey counties, and helping our agriculture and tourism businesses thrive.

I was elected as Councillor for the Municipality of Grey Highlands in 2022, to fight for the same things I now feel strongly need to be brought to the Provincial level.
