WARD 6
A Record of Action
For René, serving Ward 6 is about more than talking about what should happen next. It is also about showing residents what has already been accomplished. Throughout his time on Council, René has supported investments and initiatives across recreation,
infrastructure, seniors’ services, social supports, and emergency services.
