Chris Fitzpatrick
Candidate For Airy
About
I moved to this community from the Niagara Region in 2011 and have been proud to call it home ever since. Before moving here, I worked as a Corporate Manager, overseeing operations across multiple locations and managing complex budgets and labour costs.
Over the past four years, I have also worked extensively to advocate for seasonal workers, researching the Employment Insurance system and working with different levels of government to make sure the concerns of local workers are heard.
Why I'm Running
I’m running for Town Council because I believe every resident and local business deserves a strong voice.
I want to bring practical management experience, fiscal responsibility, and determined advocacy to council while working to improve quality of life, encourage economic growth, and preserve the character of our community.
