I ran for mayor four years ago
with the support of my wife (of
41 years) Karen, and my own
conviction that Puslinch had
fallen behind in many ways. Change is coming fast. Our
great quality of life depends on smarter management.
It’s no longer acceptable to raise taxes aggressively
as a substitute for good planning. Over the past four
years, council has made many improvements. We are
on track. Tax increases are way down. Budgeting is
clear. Things are getting done.
With your support, I will continue this important work
based on a well-planned vision of our collective future.

Wayne Stokley
COUNCILLOR
Puslinch Township
My wife, Barb, and I have lived
in Puslinch for 38 years, raised
two children (Erin and Tyson) and
now enjoy five grandchildren.
As a current councillor in Puslinch, I have tried to
maintain rural values, be a vocal advocate for residents,
fiscally responsible, transparent and goal-oriented.
As a retired vice-principal, I am able to balance my
family and public life with triathlon competitions (recent
Ironman), marathons and ski/snowboard instruction.
I believe my record as an active, productive councillor
and my ability to listen and act rationally will give the
residents a good reason to re-elect me for council.

My name is Susan Fielding
and I am running for Puslinch
Township council. I have been
privileged to serve for three
consecutive terms.
“Embracing the future ... respecting the past” is the
motto which best describes my vision for our township.
Moving forward with the Morriston bypass, addressing
gravel pit rehabilitation with an emphasis how this can
best benefit Puslinch, and openness and community
engagement are all issues which we must continue to
work on. We also must recognize that Puslinch is a
great community because of its citizens. I respect all
their contributions ... past, present and into the future.

My family has lived on
Watson Road for 21 years. As a
small business owner for nearly
25 years, I have well-developed
customer service and financial management skills.
My involvement in a range of local, regional and
provincial organizations has given me the opportunity
to see issues from a multi-level perspective.
Lessons learned from working with groups of
divergent interests are invaluable when developing
solutions to complex issues. By working with our
talented residents and business community, I believe
my “can-do” attitude can help enhance the place we
have all chosen to call home.

A lifetime resident of Puslinch,
entrepreneur and independent
business
owner,
significant
leadership
accomplishments
were achieved as the mayor of
Puslinch and Wellington County warden. I continue to
provide leadership to community organizations including
Green Legacy Program, Aberfoyle Farmers Market and
Friends of Mill Creek. I see tremendous opportunities for
our community including the post-extractive landscape,
the re-alignment of Highway 6, the restoration of our
heritage villages of Morriston and Aberfoyle, and the
protection of our water resources.
Let’s built on the strong foundation of a community
that has thrived for over 160 years, embracing our
township motto, “progressing together”.
