Kevin Ritchie, Grimsby, Ward 1

Hi!

I’M KEVIN RITCHIE AND I’M RUNNING FOR ALDERMAN FOR THE TOWN OF GRIMSBY IN WARD 1

I have been serving as a Full Time Firefighter for 21 years, and during my time of employment I have discovered a passion for politics. Running for Alderman is something I want to do to give back to my community. I would like to have input, along with the team, in how we shape and form our community to make things better for everyone for years to come.

I have obtained an Advanced Certificate in Public Administration and Governance from Ryerson University and will continue to pursue my degree with a Minor in Law. This education has not only provided a foundation for political contribution but has also allowed me to learn and become comfortable with how government and municipalities are run and what their roles and responsibilities are.

If elected, you can expect me to represent you in the following ways:

• To do the right thing, always
• Consider what your thoughts are
• Conduct myself in an open and accountable manner
• Ensure taxpayers dollars are used efficiently and effectively
• Do my research on every issue
• Ask the tough questions
• Consider the impact every decision has
• Be open minded
• Listen to the community

Sincerely,

Kevin Ritchie
