    Collingwood, ON [20 March 2025] – Collingwood Council appoints Ian MacCulloch as the newest member of Council during the Special meeting held Thursday, March 20, 2025, filling the vacant Councillor seat for the remainder of the 2022-2026 Council Term. Interested candidates were invited to submit their interest by March 12th, 2025.

    The Town is very pleased with the community’s interest. It received 27 applications by the deadline, with five applicants withdrawing their applications prior to Council consideration.

    Ian MacCulloch stated in his Expression of interest “I would represent Collingwood residents with integrity and a forward-thinking approach. With a commitment to well-reasoned decision-making and a fact-based perspective. I believe that Council serves the Town best with listening, understanding, and acting in the best interests of residents. Our Town is growing and evolving, and I am passionate about helping shape its future.” His Personal Statement of Qualification and Interest can be viewed here: https://www.collingwood.ca/council/elections.

    “We are pleased to conduct a fair and transparent process for Council’s selection of our new Councillor, including providing the public an opportunity to observe the proceedings. It is wonderful to have received so many expressions of interest from qualified and passionate individuals in our community,” says Clerk, Sara Almas. “We trust this energy will continue as we ramp up for the Municipal Election next year.”
