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 raised five well-adjusted children. Now 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.
