Experience

Commitment

Collaboration

A STRONG ADVOCATE

Ward 2 residents have come to know if there's an issue at hand, Ray will work alongside them to find solutions.

 

Throughout his time on Council, Ray has become known for his insistence on public engagement, collaboration with all parties involved and strong commitment to problem solving.

In the past decade, we've faced issues of  proposed over-development and times when plans from Town departments didn't support our commitment to preserving the character of  our surroundings or making green infrastructure a first choice for stormwater and preservation of our natural assets. Ray worked in tandem with us to secure positive outcomes.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

Ray listens to all of Oakville's constituents from all walks of life. He strives to respond with solutions that are always in their best interests.

Ray understands the importance of volunteerism and the not-for-profit sector.  He and his family play an active role in serving others in need.”

A PROBLEM SOLVER THAT CARES

Ward 2 isn't homogeneous. Every neighbourhood and each community is distinct and so are their challenges. One neighbourhood is plagued with speeding, another is facing noise issues. Many are grappling with issues caused by infill construction and community safety is often top of mind for others

Ray works alongside Town of Oakville staff to help bring the right departmental assistance to solve problems and provide support. 

A nearby infill construction project was out of control - heavy dust and debris, no proper tree protections and garbage everywhere. Ray marshalled help from a few Town departments and they arrived with solutions.

Community Voices in Support of Ray

N Huddlestone, Glen Abbey

I first met with Ray Chisholm about 8 years ago when engaged in the campaign to save and preserve the Glen Abbey heritage landscape. Since then I have seen him speak and vote on multiple issues with a practical common sense approach.

 

I am impressed with the job he has done as a councillor and fully support his re-election.​

This past winter our Society had some questions regarding our arrangement with The Town.  After doing our research I contacted Ray and during our conversations he said he would look into the arrangement.  
In a matter of weeks we were pleased to hear Ray had clarified to our satisfaction our relationship with The Town.  As an organization, we appreciate the effort and assistance Ray provided. 

 

In a broader sense I have had occasion to contact my local councillor and my experience with him was also a pleasure. While there is always room for improvement in a community, and I have lived in a few, I consider myself fortunate to live in Oakville. 

J N Wise Advisory Group Inc.

I am a 30-year resident of Ward 2. Ray understands the town and he knows how to get things done.
 
He is insightful and knowledgeable and has always worked hard for the interests of the residents of this town.
 
Voting for Ray representing Ward 2 is the smartest move we could make.
