Ward 2
Martha Boyle
Martha Boyle is running for Ward 2 in the Northeast Town council election. A mother of three, Ms. Boyle moved to Little Current with her Haweater husband Brian Boyle 13 years ago and works as an intensive behavioural intervention therapist for children with autism. Ms. Boyle explained she has always been interested in politics and being on council is one of her life goals. She has experience with different volunteer groups and organizations including the Skate Canada Manitoulin board, the Little Current Flyers board and helping fundraise for the Northeast Town Firefighters (her husband is a volunteer firefighter). “I am a person who needs to know all the information and I like to be involved in the community,” explained Ms. Boyle. “I like talking to people and I am open to ideas. I want to be someone that people can come to with their issues and I will gather more information for them and bring their ideas forward to the council table.” If elected, Ms. Boyle wants to work with existing community groups to create more activities for children, youth and seniors. “We live in a beautiful place with lots of great resources to draw on,” added Ms. Boyle. “I would like to help create more activities for our children and seniors to participate in.” Ms. Boyle described her attributes as having a strong foundation in the community, being family oriented and her love of people and hearing their thoughts and ideas. “I’m not your typical politician,” concluded Ms. Boyle, “but I want to work with residents and make their voices heard.”
