Lifelong resident Shirley Keaveney officially announced her candidacy for Mayor of the Municipality of Meaford.
For three terms, Shirley has enjoyed serving this community, one as a councillor and two as your Deputy Mayor. Shirley is ready to take the next step, her years on council have provided her a strong foundation, she understands how municipal government works, she knows the issues that matter most to Meaford residents, and she listens. Shirley is a proven leader with the ability to work with other councillors and staff to get things done.
Shirley’s Municipal, Grey County, business and volunteer experience have prepared her well for this moment, she believes wholeheartedly in this community, its people and its potential.
The residents of this Municipality deserve a leader who knows this community, one who will champion our heritage and who will work to bring sustainable vibrancy to our downtown.
