Charlene Biggerstaff - Ward 1 Councillor / 2026 Candidate
Raise the Standards. Protect what Matters. Grow with Purpose.
Rasie the Standards
Places we use every day should be cared for well.
That means better parks and public spaces, safer and more connected streets and paths, attention to aging roads and water systems, and using our asset management plan to make good decisions about what is planned first.
Good communities are built on the everyday details.
Protecting what matters
Lake Simcoe, the Greenbelt, our waterways, farms, green spaces and community character are part of what makes Georgina home.
Protecting them isn't separate from growth.
It is part of planning well for the future.
Grow with purpose
Georgina is growing.
We have an opportunity to welcome more homes, businesses, jobs, recreation and community connections while planning carefully for the services and places people need.
We may not control the pace of growth. We can control how prepared we are for it.
WHAT's NEXT
West Park - Parking lots and more!
How I found it in 2022!
West Park parking lots have long hard to maintain. In 2022, the nets were torn, and there were many requests from the teams, like, for the lights to stay on longer, increase maintenance, and new benches.
So we worked on it!
It's better now in 2026!
After hearing the requests, we increased the aggregate volume and maintenance, paved the entrances, installed new nets, started to add new benches, and now the lights now stay on just a bit longer.
I hear that there is more work to do! Shade areas, more grooming for the pitches, a hut for equipment are among the requests.
I am ready to keep working to make things better!
Queensway - Increased Boulevard Maintenance
How I found it in 2022!
It took a few years to get the regular maintenance and plantings on Queensway Boulevard.
I want to thank everyone who I visited on Haskins and everyday passers-by for your patience and requests to the Town - we did it!
It's better now in 2026!
Staff worked with our development and builder partners to upgrade the area and have new turf and gardens planted.
The overall area is better, but there is more to do!
What do you think we could do with the boulevard areas?
I have heard requests for fruit trees, less grass, more pollinator gardens, and increased plant and tree maintenance.
Love the Lake
The lake is part of why we're here.
For many of us, lakeside living is one of the reasons we chose Georgina.
It shapes how we spend our weekends, where we walk, how we recreate and what we love about home.
Protecting Lake Simcoe isn't separate from building our community. It is part of it.
That means paying attention to our waterways, supporting good waterfront planning, protecting natural areas and continuing to work on the challenges facing the lake.
It also means making sure people can enjoy our waterfronts safely and responsibly.
From Water Soldier in Cook's Bay to phosphorus and salt mitigation, our waterfront parks, trails, beaches and lakeside connections, there is important work ahead. Are you ready to do your part?
EXPLORE LOVE THE LAKE
Strong communities are built by people who care for them, show up consistently, and work to leave things better than they found them.
