Brian Petrie has decided to run for re-election as the Mayor of Ingersoll.
INGERSOLL - He's seeking a second term as the Mayor of Ingersoll.
Brian Petrie served two terms as a town councillor before successfully running for Mayor in 2022.
He has a accomplished a lot during his political career and the Multi-Use Rec Centre was a big highlight for this most recent term.
"We've been able to move every metre on the Strategic Plan forward and getting shovels in the ground in the Multi-Use Rec Centre was a big one. I know that's a big priority in the community, so council went ahead and we're happy to lead collaboratively to make that happen."
He gives us a sneak peak at what's to come for the next term of council.
"We'll always be dealing with growth because we always want to attract new industrial investments and make that happen. So there will be investments in infrastructure, but really it's the peoples council so we work for them and we'll make sure the priorities they want get done. That's why we have to go back out and reengage."
He says town council was able to cross a lot of items off the current Strategic Plan and another plan one is in the works.
Petrie's interest in local politics started when he attended an all-candidates meeting in 2010 and didn't know who to vote for. He attended his first town council meeting as a spectator afterward, and attended several more meetings before he decided to run for council in the following election.
The 2026 municipal election is scheduled for October 26th.
