Move forward, together.
David Parmer is running for Whitchurch-Stouffville Town Council. Three decades in the classroom and two decades of service on Stouffville's boards taught him the same lesson: listen first, read the file, and do the work.
What I'll bring to council
The Educator's Lens
Listen first. Read the file. Explain the trade-offs the way good teachers do.
02Libraries & Lifelong Learning
Stouffville's library is one of our great equalizers. A growing town deserves a growing library.
03Arts as Community Infrastructure
19 on the Park, the Latcham Art Centre, public spaces, programming — the connective tissue of a real community.
04Youth, Seniors & Families
Safe streets, mental health, and programming for young people, seniors, and families — from school council to council chamber.
05Evidence-Based Governance
Decisions follow data, consultation, and real outcomes — not ideology or political reflex.
06Smart Growth & Planning
Stouffville doubled in a decade. Growth should serve residents — not the other way around.
The record
11+ years on Town boards. $100K+ raised for the arts. Twenty years in Stouffville's schools and on its sports fields.
The approach
A science teacher's method: gather the evidence, consult the people affected, explain the decision in plain language.
The independence
No party. No faction. A non-partisan record of working with everyone.
As the committee's Chair, David embodied an effective style of leadership… while bringing a gentle and thoughtful tone that welcomed our contributions and ensured each voice could be heard.Johnny Wideman
