Cole Jonathan Bowerman
“For those of you who may not know me, my name is Cole Jonathan Bowerman,” the candidate for Assiginack council wrote in an email to the Expositor. “I was born and raised in Tehkummah and spent 10 years attending Assiginack Public School. A large portion of my life has been spent being involved in the Manitowaning community. Even after graduating high school, I continued to immerse myself in the numerous events hosted here. One of my favourite events growing up was the Haunted Norisle. This event was so well put together that people would flock from near and far to gain entrance.”
“Several events that I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in took place in the Burns Wharf Theatre,” Mr. Bowerman continued. “For the past seven years, I enthusiastically participated in the many “Gilbert and Sullivan” musicals hosted by the Burns Wharf Theatre. I’ve always enjoyed the company of the many other performers and the opportunity to interact with the audience.”
“Working with people on different events has brought me delight and seeing and getting to know new faces is always a great joy and privilege,” he added. “It’s a thrilling experience to receive so much gratitude from the participants of the event you helped bring to life. Providing help and assistance to the public has always been a main concern. Improvements to local roads would allow such assistance to be able to arrive at their designated locations more efficiently. With your help, this community has and will continue to improve the services of our municipality.”
“Working on your behalf as a councillor is my primary goal,” Mr. Bowerman added. “Issues need to be discussed in open meetings so that all ratepayers are informed on any and all decisions of the council. Access to municipal business keeps the council transparent and accountable in all decision making processes. With a new councillor comes new ideas and a fresh outlook on the matters and issues of the municipality. I wish to learn from the experiences of current and previous council members to better determine the best course of action. It is my duty to aspire to accomplish great things and in my potential to be a good, loyal, and trusted council member of the Township of Assiginack.”
