Blake Martin
From Blake:
Hi, my name is Blake Martin and Grey Highlands is the only home I’ve ever known. I’ve lived here since I was two years old, went to Beavercrest and GHSS, and just recently returned home after finishing my Bachelor’s Degree in Canadian History and Political Science.
I have always loved learning about political institutions like Parliament, how they came about, the people behind them, how their decisions reverberate into our communities, and how citizens can hold their representatives accountable. But my decision to run for council came from conversations much closer to home.
After coming back to my home in Markdale and catching-up with family, old friends, and members of our community, I kept hearing the same concern: “I’m worried about the cost of living. Something needs to change.”
I share that concern. Rather than simply accepting that things have to stay the same, I decided to step forward and help bring about the change our community is asking for.
