PRESS RELEASE
On Tuesday, July 19th, George Minakakis chair of ACTION Milton and Chair of Milton Hydro has launched his campaign to run as a Milton Town Councillor in the October 24, 2022, municipal election.
The long-time resident and global executive has announced that he has officially filed his nomination for Milton Council in Ward 1.
“I plan to work for residents, and this role will have my full-time focus.” Minakakis said, “I have thought about this a great deal, the timing is right to represent and lead Milton into the future as a Town Councillor. I will be visible and available. We risk losing a great deal if an elected councillor has only a part-time focus, especially as we add 1,000 plus homes annually.
“Growth brings challenges. I offer higher executive strategic experience and governance to prevent risks impeding Milton’s strength as one of Canada’s fastest and safest growing communities. And ensure we pursue the right growth opportunities while retaining our local heritage and human connections as a community.”
He adds, “Residents want Milton to be future-ready. That means all hands-on deck to conduct next-level economic development, such as pursuing employers to build their corporate head offices in Milton. We will be future-ready by providing the proper infrastructures for continued digital evolution, public transportation, and even the future fast-paced electrification of automobiles. We must be proactive versus reactive when protecting residents from environmental, health, and safety risks. And the issue of affordable housing will not resolve itself; our municipality can lead with solutions.”
- A future-ready community
- Retain the heritage of Milton
- Increase economic development
- Strengthen an inclusive culture
- Improve environmental accountability
- Address affordable housing
“Social and economic changes are happening faster today; I will detail the following on my website within the coming weeks.”
Minakakis brings vast business, government relations, community experience, and international trade with China, the USA, and Europe. He looks forward to spending the next 90 days meeting with residents and business owners to hear what’s on their minds in person and through bi-weekly virtual town halls.
