Hello, my name is Gregg Davidson and I am seeking your support to represent Ontario's interests on the FCM Board of Directors for a third year.
I became involved in municipal politics in 2014 when I was elected to serve on Wellington County Council. At that time, I owned and operated a franchise business in Listowel, Ontario. Prior to that I was a regional police constable. These work experiences provided me with skills and knowledge that have been very useful in serving the people of Mapleton and the County of Wellington.
After serving a full term on Wellington County Council, I was elected Mayor of the Township of Mapleton in 2018. As Mayor, I have worked with the community, Council and staff to make significant changes and investments in our community’s future. The role of the Mayor and County Councillor has provided me with a greater understanding of why municipalities need to be involved with advocating the Provincial and Federal governments.
FCM provides municipal members, no matter what the population size, opportunities to bring forth matters of national interest. With having lived and worked in small and large Ontario communities, I can bring your concerns forward as your FCM board member.
