ANNOUNCEMENT: Please join us Thursday, March 6th from 5pm to 6:30pm for a virtual Town Hall / AMA with Ward 1 Councilor Fred Francis!
We are continuing the conversation- following his ward meeting held on Thursday, September 19th, 2024, Fred would like to continue the conversation, and open the floor to those who may not have had the chance to attend in person.
Fred Francis was elected to serve and represent Ward 1 in 2014, and has served three consecutive terms on City Council. Prior to his appointment to council, Francis worked in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, and holds degrees from the University of Windsor, and Western University. During his time on council, Francis has prioritized fiscal responsibility- holding the line on taxes, job creation in the community, and smart investments in infrastructure. More recently, Francis has been vocal about the use and application of the ‘Strong Mayor Powers’ in regards to the termination of the Tunnel Bus, and has both voted against and spoken out regarding the many increases of funding for the Celestial Beacon, a legacy project anticipated to open to the public this year.
Now, Fred would like to hear from you!
Please note that all are welcome to engage with this event! Whether you live/work/study/play in ward 1, or if you are just an observer, all questions are happily welcomed!
We strive to build a community where fellow residents can share in active discussion about what excites and concerns, or intrigues!
We don’t want anyone to feel left behind! If you are unable to make the AMA, please feel free to add your comments and questions to this thread, and we will make sure that they are included in the rotation of questions for Fred.
Thanks, and see you there!
