It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I introduce myself as your new Ward 1 Councillor for the Municipality of Middlesex Centre. My name is Jean Coles, and I am excited to serve you, advocate for our community, and work toward building a brighter future for all of us. Having been a part of the Ilderton community for many years, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for the unique spirit that makes our village such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family. My journey to becoming your councillor is rooted in community involvement and a passion for making a positive impact. I’ve worked in various leadership roles in human resources, banking, marketing, and teaching. Most recently, I’ve been deeply involved in supporting local businesses and fostering strong relationships with our neighbours. These experiences have equipped me with the skills needed to address our community’s challenges and find practical solutions. My top priority is ensuring that our community’s needs and voices are heard in local government decisions. Whether it’s infrastructure, supporting businesses, or promoting sustainability, I will work tirelessly to ensure Ilderton thrives. I encourage you to reach out to me with concerns and ideas, and I look forward to meeting you in person at upcoming events. Together, we will continue to make Ilderton a community we’re all proud to call home.
