Jason Malott — Penetanguishene councillor
As a lifelong resident of Midland and Penetanguishene, I love my community and would never consider leaving. At 39 years old, I am a father and local business owner. These aspects and more drive me to see our community thrive, not only with its existing core and attractions, but to see it expand and grow in the future.
I graduated from Midland Secondary and directly entered the workforce, maintaining a position at Franke Kindred for more than 20 years. After 20 years of working for others I decided it was time to follow my dream, opening North of Exile Games with my spouse in 2017. It is Penetanguishene’s first — and only — board game café and gaming store.
Owning this store has given me the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with many people in our diverse community.
I am your choice because, along with my enthusiasm and strong work ethic, I will bring a younger and fresh mind to our council. Not only am I invested in this community as a business owner, I am invested in the community first and foremost as a resident. I have experienced the satisfaction of being able to provide my family with a good quality of life thanks to our local industry, and I am strongly motivated to ensure that our local businesses and industries are given every opportunity to thrive so that others can know that same satisfaction.
If elected, not only will I bring my own ideas to the council, I will be accessible for you to bring your ideas forward as well. I will bring a fresh mind with aspirations for more tourism, and events to bring our community together as a family.
I would love to get to know you and introduce myself. Feel free to visit the store at 61 Main St. or call . If you prefer social media, my and Instagram can be found
