Councillor Iain Angus Councillor At Large
| ||||||||
Hello, my name is Iain Angus, and I am very pleased to be one of your Councillors at Large.
I have a solid background working at the federal, Aboriginal, provincial and municipal levels of government. My background in government, community and strategic planning gives me the strengths that I feel are needed to represent the people of Thunder Bay on City Council.
After five years of community development and marketing experience as an employee with the City of Thunder Bay, I was elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1975, serving until 1977. I returned to the City as a Park Development Officer where I stayed until 1984.
I was elected a Member of Parliament for the Riding of Thunder Bay-Atikokan in the General Election of 1984, with subsequent re-election in 1988. As Transportation Spokesperson and Parliamentarian, I gained a reputation as a hard working individual, with an ability to see both sides of an issue. In 1993, I left electoral politics and formed Iain Angus and Associates, specializing in the fields of Transportation, Government, and Regulatory Affairs.
In 2001, I became the Secretary of The Friends of Chippewa Park and began to work as part of this group to restore, preserve, and promote the park where I grew up so that it can reach its full potential as a public recreation area. This is just one example of my commitment to finding new ways to get things done in our City.
I decided run for City Council so that I could put my experience to work on the many issues facing our City including job creation and retention.
