Retired Police Officer
Grateful to have been able to serve my community for many years.
Local Realtor
Happy to help families and neighbours every day.
Otterville Resident
Proud to call Otterville the place my family and I call "home".
My Vision
Ward 1 deserves a councillor who listens first, works respectfully with others, and makes decisions based on what is best for our community.
I believe the best results come from collaboration, thoughtful planning, and open communication. By working together with residents, local businesses, community organizations, and fellow council members, we can make practical decisions that protect our township while preparing for the future.
My commitment is simple: to represent every resident with integrity, transparency, and common sense.
Together, we can build a stronger township while preserving the values that make our community a great place to live.
My Priorities
Fiscal Responsibility
Every tax dollar should be spent wisely. I am committed to responsible financial management that respects taxpayers while ensuring essential services are delivered efficiently.
Careful budgeting, long-term planning, and accountability will help keep our township financially strong without placing unnecessary burdens on residents.
Common Sense Decision Making
Local government works best when decisions are practical, fair, and based on facts.
I will approach every issue with an open mind, listen to all perspectives, and make informed decisions that reflect the needs of our community.
Maintaining Our Infrastructure
Strong communities depend on reliable infrastructure.
Maintaining our roads, bridges, drainage systems, parks, and public facilities must remain a priority. Investing in preventative maintenance today helps avoid more costly repairs tomorrow while ensuring our township remains safe and accessible for everyone.
Transparency & Accessibility
Residents deserve a councillor who is approachable, responsive, and accountable. I believe communication should go both ways.
I will keep residents informed about council decisions, be available to answer questions, and actively seek community input before major decisions are made. Good governance begins with trust.
Planned Growth That Preserves Our Rural Character
Growth is inevitable, but it should be carefully planned.
As our community continues to grow, we must protect the rural character and small-town values that make Ward 1 unique. Responsible development should strengthen our community while respecting existing neighbourhoods, farmland, and local heritage.
I want to hear what matters to you!
About Marius
For nearly 20 years, I've been proud to call Otterville home. My wife, Jessica, and I are raising our family on our farm just outside the village, where we've built our lives around the values of hard work, community, and service.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of serving others in several ways. As a retired police officer, I learned the importance of integrity, accountability, and making thoughtful decisions under pressure. Today, as a local Realtor and businessman, I continue to work closely with families, property owners, and local businesses, gaining firsthand insight into the opportunities and challenges facing our community.
These experiences have strengthened my commitment to serving Ward 1 with respect, collaboration, and common-sense leadership. I'm running for Township Council because I believe local government works best when residents are heard, tax dollars are managed responsibly, and decisions are made with transparency and the long-term interests of our community in mind.
I am committed to protecting our rural character, maintaining our infrastructure, planning responsibly for growth, and ensuring our township remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
I would be honoured to earn your trust and your vote as your Ward 1 Councillor.
