Councillor Bill Stockwell resigns

News release from Wasaga Beach

Today, Councillor Bill Stockwell tendered his resignation as a member of town council, effective immediately.

“The reason is I will be moving to the East Coast to be closer to family at this time,” Councillor Stockwell said in a letter to Mayor Brian Smith. “I am grateful to those citizens in our community that elected me in 2014 and I am thankful for the opportunity that they gave me to represent them and work at making a positive difference in our community. I am proud of what we have accomplished together.”

On behalf of town council, Mayor Smith thanked Councillor Stockwell for his contributions to Wasaga Beach.

“I want to commend Bill for his hard work, knowledge, and dedication to this community,” Mayor Smith said. “Bill was an integral part of moving our town forward during this term of council and I personally am grateful for his efforts.”

Stockwell and his wife, Loretta, are moving to Nova Scotia.

“I wish Bill and his wife all the best as they enter the next phase of their lives together. Bill’s departure from Wasaga Beach is certainly a loss to our community,” Smith said.
