Leslie Steel

I am excited to be running for City Council in Ward 9.  I am a lifelong Sudburian, educated here, raising my family here and employed in public service for over 30 years.  I come from a family of entrepreneurs; immersed in business, and always keen to help Sudbury grow in the right direction.  I am running for council because we need to change the direction and attitude of government in this City, and I am ready to be that strong, creditable, and cooperative representation. 

I will be that strong voice who champions the concerns of safety and protection in our downtown and our outlining areas.  I will be a strong advocate for youth programs to create educated, strong, and authentic leaders who stay and raise their families in Sudbury to help us grow.  I am a strong advocate of inclusion for all and understand how our differences will make our economy flourish.  I will be the one to address the public transportation system and work with my Colleagues at City Hall to make it more user friendly. I am concerned about our amazing lakes, and our water quality in Ward 9 and what to do about all the garbage.  And yes, overstating the obvious, I am perplexed as to how our roads in Sudbury have gotten to this alarming state and how our taxes just keep increasing while our services keep decreasing.

Ward 9 needs a dynamic outlook, an effective attitude, and a fresh voice!!  Ward 9 needs someone who is not scared to ask those difficult questions at the council table.  Ward 9 needs someone who understands what it means to be accountable with OUR money and Ward 9 needs someone who makes a promise and follows through.  I have that clear voice, I have that attitude, and I have that intention to be your new Councillor of Ward 9. 

Leslie has been part of this community for many years, working tirelessly to make it a better place.
