About Me

Hi, I’m Kelsey!

If we haven’t had the chance to meet yet, let me take a moment to officially introduce myself!

I have had the great honour of being a Lakeshore councillor since 2018. I live right in Belle River with my partner Jacob, our son Adrien, and dog Zoey. I’m a big foodie, fan of Canadian rock music, and love to quilt when I can.

I have lived in Lakeshore for almost 30 years and owe every ounce of my success to the family, friends and community that continue to help me grow. It has truly been an honour to serve on council for these past 8 years and I am still committed to learning, growing, and listening in order to make the best decisions for our evolving municipality.

I think I bring a unique mind to Council. I am a systems thinker capable of taking in and retaining a lot of information. That skillset helps me to make connections about issues, policies, and services, as opposed to looking at things in isolation. I have been known to ask more than a few double-barrelled questions at the Council table to help me make decisions at the strategic level while being very aware of how they may play out practically.

In most things, I strive to be predictable. This makes it easier for residents to remain confident in my perspective and advocacy. It helps administration prepare for consistent questions and respond to priorities.

The Day Job

---

I’ve held a few jobs since I was a young teenager, many of which were in Lakeshore! If I look familiar, you might be thinking of my early days at Foodland, Twigg’s or Starbucks.

Or you may remember me as co-owner of the West Beach Snack Shack, where my sister and I operated the concession for 4 years from 2012-2015!
