Norm MacLeod – City Council
Experience. Leadership. Service.
Why I am running for Council
I’m running, because I believe Mission deserves practical, experienced leadership that puts residents first. My priorities are straightforward. Keeping our neighbourhoods safe, protecting and enhancing parks and recreation, ensuring responsible financial management, and making local government more transparent and accountable are what I will strive for as a Councillor.
Service has been the focus of my entire adult life—whether through emergency services, recreation, volunteerism, or charitable organizations. I believe public service is about listening, bringing people together, and making decisions that improve our community.
It would be an honour to earn your trust and your vote on October 17th.
My Approach
SAFE & PREPARED
Protecting residents. Preparing for emergencies. Building safer, more resilient neighbourhoods.
Public safety must be a fundamental priority of local government. With 32 years serving Mission’s fire service and experience as a Chief Officer in two municipalities, I understand the importance of strong leadership, preparation and coordinated response.
I will advocate for strong emergency services, the RCMP and other public safety partners, and for the infrastructure and planning needed to support them. As Mission grows, we must ensure our community is prepared for emergencies and resilient when challenges arise.
I will bring practical experience and a strong commitment to keeping Mission safe, prepared and ready for the future.
ACTIVE COMMUNITY
Strong parks, recreation and community spaces that bring us together.
Parks and recreation are an important part of a healthy, connected community. With extensive experience in Parks, Recreation and Culture, I understand the value these spaces bring to residents of all ages and abilities.
I will advocate for well-maintained and accessible parks, trails and recreation facilities, including opportunities for sports, play and dog owners.
As Mission grows, we need to plan carefully for future recreation needs and make responsible investments that provide lasting value.Maintain what we have. Improve accessibility. Plan responsibly for the future.
RESPONSIBLE GROWTH
Planning for growth. Supporting infrastructure. Protecting what makes Mission special.
Mission is growing, and growth needs to be managed with care and foresight. New development should be supported by the roads, infrastructure, parks and community amenities needed for a healthy, livable community. I will support responsible development that considers the broader needs of Mission, not just individual projects.
At the same time, we should respect the heritage, agricultural areas, natural spaces and established neighbourhoods that give our community its character.
Growth is inevitable, but how we manage it matters. My focus will be on thoughtful planning that strengthens Mission today while preparing our community for the future.
ACCOUNTABLE TO TAXPAYERS
Respecting taxpayers. Managing costs. Planning for the long term.
Property taxes fund the services and infrastructure our community relies on, but I understand that increases have a real impact on household budgets. Council has a responsibility to make careful choices about how those dollars are spent.
I will advocate for clear priorities, disciplined spending and decisions that consider both immediate costs and long-term commitments. That means maintaining the services and infrastructure residents rely on, making thoughtful investments for the future and working to attract business and industry to Mission to create local jobs and to help reduce the taxes residents pay.
Tax payers deserve to understand how their tax dollars are being spent and why important decisions are made. I will bring a transparent, informed and accountable approach to Council.
I look forward to hearing from you:
