Congratulations, Don, we are looking forward to an excellent 4 years of growth!
Congrats!!! Proud to have you for our mayor! All the best!
It is a shame as I would have liked to have had a large sign on our property which I could have kept afterwards. Are there any left or have they all been recycled now?
Love that you have a policy like Amarjeet Sohi’s to not place signs on public property! =)
Very proud to have volunteered on your campaign! Love the result and the positive press you are receiving across Canada!

I am so happy that all the hard work has come to fruition. The atmosphere at Head Quarters was amazing.
