Mayor-Elect, Marianne Meed Ward

“I’m honoured to have the confidence of Burlington residents for another term, and I look forward to working alongside this new Council. We bring different experiences and perspectives to the table, and we share a responsibility to serve our entire community and put residents first. I believe good things happen when we listen to one another, work together, and stay focused on what matters most to the people we serve. This is a new chapter for Burlington, and I’m looking forward to the work ahead. Council’s inauguration is also an opportunity for residents to be part of that moment, and I warmly invite everyone to join us as we begin this new term together.”
