My Promise to You
Serving the residents of Lanark Highlands means leading with integrity, responsibility, and respect for the people and places that make our community special. As Deputy Reeve, Frank is committed to the following principles:

Realistic Economic Plan
Lanark Highlands is home to hardworking entrepreneurs, small businesses, and natural beauty that attracts visitors and new residents alike. Frank believes in supporting a realistic economic plan that benefits the entire Township.
By encouraging local entrepreneurship, supporting small businesses, and promoting responsible tourism that celebrates “The Beauty We Call Home,” the Township can strengthen its economy while preserving the character and environment that residents value.
A strong local economy helps create opportunity, maintain essential services, and support long-term community sustainability.
An Age-Friendly Community
Nearly half of Lanark Highlands’ population is made up of seniors, and our community should reflect and support their needs.
Frank believes Lanark Highlands should continue working toward becoming a recognized "Age-Friendly Community", where infrastructure, policies, and services are designed to support residents as they age.
This includes ensuring public spaces are accessible, improving transportation and services where possible, and supporting programs that help older adults age in place, remain active, safe, and connected within the community they call home.
Planning with seniors in mind benefits everyone and helps ensure residents can continue living comfortably in Lanark Highlands for years to come.
Municipal infrastructure projects can place significant financial pressure on small communities like Lanark Highlands.
Frank believes the Township should actively seek partnerships with neighbouring municipalities, provincial programs, and regional organizations to help share infrastructure costs and improve services.
Working collaboratively can help ensure important investments are made while reducing the financial burden that sometimes falls solely on Lanark Highlands taxpayers.
Partnerships can help communities achieve more together than they can alone.
