Jonathan Pita — Adjala-Tosorontio Ward 2
My name is Jonathan Pita. I recently moved to Adjala-Tosorontio because I fell in love with its beauty and small-town feeling. I am currently an electrical apprentice and I live with my girlfriend, who is a high school teacher. We both appreciate the history in this township and enjoy exploring its corners and meeting its residents. We also look forward to raising a family here, sending our children to school here, and working together to keep our home town an excellent place to be.
According to Adjala-Tosorontio’s website, the main role of council is to “represent the public” (www.adjtos.ca/council). I believe Ward 2 has not had its interests fully represented, especially in key votes. I, however, pledge to listen to the constituents of my ward. My vote is not mine alone. It represents the concerns of Ward 2.
I look forward to an efficient and transparent council. I am committed to maintaining positive relationships with residents, fellow councillors and municipal staff. This also involves the wise use of tax dollars toward responsible development and municipal planning.
I also intend to maintain Adjala-Tosorontio’s rural and small-town atmosphere. This means overseeing controlled development that does not place a burden on existing residents. It also means ensuring that all Ontario Municipal Board/ Local Planning Appeal Tribunal guidelines are followed during development. One of the major concerns is well water sustainability. It is also important to maintain our roads and bridges, many of which are below ministry standards.
Residents should also have access to an affordable lifestyle. I am interested in keeping water rates low. I believe that future water and sewage connection to new or existing infrastructure should be optional. I also intend to work toward bringing high speed internet to our municipality.
I am always interested in talking to and meeting with residents. They may call me at or email at
