“We have Jan Mowbray to thank for high-speed internet in our community.  Jan identified our community’s desperate need for high speed communication and did something about it. She gathered a team of motivated people, she found provincial funding and she led the charge at Council and with Town staff.

Her efforts helped attract several suppliers when none had been interested in the past.  For any other Councillor or candidate to claim a lead role in getting us high speed internet just wouldn’t be accurate—or right.”
–Bruce Sharp, Technical Advisory Committee Leader,                        
Nassagaweya Broadband Committee

We are fortunate to have many hardworking politicians in our area.  Even among these, Jan Mowbray is special.    She is true citizen’s representative, working on the issues that our community cares about, sleeves rolled up. 

Jan takes a special interest in creating a community with diversity, vitality and opportunity. She boosts our local business and service groups and has been particularly steadfast in her support of community-based organizations that help build self-confident girls and young women in our community—for which I am personally grateful.  Likely as not, many, many organizations are similarly appreciative of Jan Mowbray’s helping hand. 

Jan invites and creates dialogue, bringing people together to solve problems and generate solutions.  She is a constant contributor to active community groups such as the Nassagaweya Community Consultation Committee, the Destination Campbellville Community Association and was one of the primary drivers of the process and multidisciplinary team that brought our new broadband internet infrastructure to Milton’s rural homes and businesses.  This initiative alone has already had a dramatic impact on the viability of our rural community and on the quality of many people’s lives and livelihoods.  We will be thanking Jan for this for years.

If Jan Mowbray’s past performance as our representative in Ward 3 is an indicator, she will represent all the people of Wards 2, 3, 4 and 5 with unwavering respect, sincerity and diligence if we elect her to represent us at Regional Council in October.

Dear Councillor Mowbray:

We wish you best of luck in your upcoming electoral race for local and regional wards. We expect that you will receive a lot of support from Miltonians who will have witnessed your sincere level of engagement in matters important to them. In our case, your assistance during the start-up years of our community soccer club was instrumental to our success in the community. It was you who sensed an unjust situation and cared enough to assist us in establishing an alternate non-profit soccer club in this town and who provided us with advice and counsel that helped us overcome entry barriers established by outdated policies and procedures.

Regards,

Milton Soccer Academy

Jan has been a Milton Local Councillor, serving Ward 3 for seven years. During that time, she has been a dedicated, hardworking member of council. She is a high energy, skilled, caring and knowledgeable member of council. She has always been very responsive to peoples’ concerns.

I am confident that she will take the same enthusiasm and caring attitude to the work as a Local and Regional Council member for Wards 2,3,4, and 5 as she has for the past seven years in Ward 3.

She is already the council representative on one Regional committee, sits on another, and is very informed of the workings of town and region.

Because of the reorganization of the wards for this election and all the issues associated with rapid growth, it is important that we keep our most competent members on both local and regional council.

Jan Mowbray was there to help with the strong objections by the farming community and the rural residents of Milton and Halton to the Regional Official Plan Amendment 38 (“ROPA38”).  A Natural Heritage Designation was to be placed over all lands in rural Halton. Thanks to some Halton farmers, and Jan’s help, speaking at Regional meetings, agriculture was protected from some of the unreasonable restrictions.
Jan does not give up and is a tireless worker for her constituents.                      She is ready for Regional Council!”

–June Barnes, Past President of the Halton Federation of  Agriculture  and Past President of the Ontario Charolais Association.

Jan Mowbray was one of the first to support the creation of the DCCA…committed to making Nassagaweya a better place for those who live and work in this area. She assumed the role of our planning and development committee wherein the path for growth was determined and initiated.  During the last three years the DCCA has become recognized within the area as having helped to improve the appearance of the village and provided a number of local events for the enjoyment and benefit of us all.  We are proud to call her friend and associate and of what she has accomplished for the association and the community.”
 –Stu Johnson, President, Destination Campbellville Community Association

“Jan Mowbray took the independent initiative to be part of the 11th Concession Quarry fight.  No other Milton Councillor or candidate took an active and consistent role in this long-term effort to protect your family’s health, property value and enjoyment of your rural property.   No one could do better representing the people of Wards 2, 3, 4 & 5   than Jan Mowbray.”
–Margaret McCarthy, Flamborough Councillor
