Tuckersmith ward candidates
Larry McGrath
Larry McGrath is a life
long resident of Tuckersmith
Township, who started his
political career within the
township in 1988.
He has served as Tuck-
ersmith ward councillor
and deputy reeve, in addi-
tion to serving on several
committees such as the
arena board, water and
sewer and administration
board.
If re-elected McGrath
says he hopes to continue
the fight to keep taxes and
expenses in check and
continue to offer the rate-
payers affordable and effi-
cient services.
Being a self-employed
business owner for the past
27 years has aided him in
making common sense
decisions regarding munici-
pal spending.
McGrath and his wife
Dianne reside in Egmond-
ville and have three adult
children and two grand-
children, all residing in
Huron East.
Ray Chartrand
Raymond Chartrand
first made the decision to
run for Huron East council
after he and his wife Deb-
bie fell in love with the
tiny village of Egmond-
ville, as well as the town of
Seaforth, after moving
here 10 years ago.
Chartrand says when he
ran in the last election, the
support he received was
great and people wanted
change. He came very close
in winning a seat, only losing
by 18 votes.
Chartrand feels he has
much to offer the municipal-
ity with the skills he has
acquired over the years and,
since retiring, he has the
time to search out concerns
and to properly represent tax
ratepayers of the Tucker -
smith ward.
Working as a manager of
an auto company for 32
years, Chartrand was able to
learn and develop excellent
people skills, as well as gain
experience in communica-
tion, team building and
problem solving.
He retired at the young
age of 50 before moving to
the area, and since moving
here, has been on several
different boards of directors
for not-for-profit organiza-
tions, where has held many
positions, including presi-
dent. Chartrand has also
held a position on the
board of directors for the
Clinton Legion, where he
assumed a leadership role,
successfully applying for
and receiving two Trillium
grants for the organization.
One was for a new roof and
one for a new furnace.
The Tuckersmith Ward
candidate has also been
