An Ontario Agricultural College graduate, Ed Christie went on to become Ontario Sales Supervisor for Chipman Chemicals.  He then returned home and opened Christie’s Clothing in Collingwood.

As a former Collingwood Town Councillor, Ed brings a great deal of municipal experience to the race for the Clearview council seat in Ward 1. He has chaired the Collingwood Heritage and Sign committees.

As for issues facing Ward 1, Clearview, Ed believes it is necessary to push for an Official Plan Update. He feels the time has come to have this material reviewed to meet today’s demands and standards.

He will also work to initiate a public meeting to allow residents to talk specifically about water and sewer requirements in Nottawa. He believes development in the village is being held back by existing bylaws.

“We have to find a way to make Ward 1 enticing for a developer to want to come here.”

Ed Christie says it would be his pleasure to serve the residents and help continue to do good work on Clearview Council.
