Meet Charmaine

My journey has been shaped by hard work, resilience, and a deep commitment to community. As a long‑time community activist, people who know me will tell you that I listen, I show up, and I work collaboratively to find solutions.
I believe leadership is about relationships, trust, and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard.
I’m running for City Councillor in Ward 5 (Northcrest) because I believe in a Peterborough where everyone can thrive.
This city has been my home for many years, and it’s where I raised my five children. Peterborough gave us community, belonging, and opportunity.
What I Bring
I've raised five well-adjusted children.
Now, as an empty nester, I want to give more of my time, energy, and experience back to the community that supported us. I bring a positive spirit, a fresh voice, and the lived experience of someone who understands the challenges faced by families.
I believe in meaningful community collaboration — bringing people into the process. I value open community involvement and the participation of diverse voices.
A healthy city is one where families feel supported, where children can thrive, and where neighbors look out for one another.
That requires a council that functions with integrity — one that listens, collaborates, and acts
for the people.
