Steve RagsHOST
Uh, Bernard's campaign material says, "My vision is simple.
Steve RagsHOST
Pr- um, preserve what makes Clarington and historical Bowmanville special while preparing for the future.
Steve RagsHOST
By investing in infrastructure, supporting local businesses, revitalizing our downtown, and attracting new investment, we can ensure Clarington remains a vibrant, welcoming, and prosperous community for generations to come." Bernard, welcome to Exit 425.
Steve RagsHOST
Thanks for meeting me here.
Bernard SanchezGUEST
Well, uh, Steve, thank you for giving us the opportunity to explain and answer some of the questions that the residents have.
Bernard SanchezGUEST
Well, first of all, uh, as you know, one of our, uh, first responsibility as, um, uh, people running for council is to listen to residents, and this is what I have done for the last three months, listen to resident to understand what they need, what they need from council, and, uh, so they are very clear on this.
Bernard SanchezGUEST
So why, um, why me? Well, first of all, the first thing that I did, one of the first thing that I did when I joined, uh, came here, moved to, uh, Bowmanville, is actually to join the Rotary Club.
Bernard SanchezGUEST
I wanted to not only support the people that are in need in, uh, Clarington, but, uh, also understand what's going on in Clarington.
Josh GloverGUEST
I've lived in historic Bowmanville for over 10 years now.
Josh GloverGUEST
In my most recent profession, was as a public representative for the people of Clarington as an elected school board trustee, a role of which I was fairly, if not exceedingly proficient at, as I was nominated by trustees across Ontario to represent Catholic school trustees at a national level.
Josh GloverGUEST
Why I should be, why War II needs me? Because they need an effective, experienced, duty-bound representative who is absolutely committed to and has experience finding the middle path between two competing interests.
Josh GloverGUEST
This is something I have a natural ability in doing, finding the compromise between two sides.
Josh GloverGUEST
So I consider myself an asset for the community and that is why I'm putting myself forward to represent the community at Municipal Council.
Steve RagsHOST
What unique challenges does your ward face?
Josh GloverGUEST
Ward 2 is the fastest growing ward in Clarington with approximately 3,800 residents.
Josh GloverGUEST
Bowmanville in particular is projected to absorb 56 out of every 100 new residents that are coming into the municipality.

Steve RagsHOST
Steve Ray, welcome to Exit 425 today.
Steve RagsHOST
Another Ward 2 Councillor candidate for the October 20 to 26th, 26th municipal election in Clarington, Kathleen Flynn.
Steve RagsHOST
And from KathleenFlynn.ca, Kathleen's priorities focus on four areas where local decisions matter.
Steve RagsHOST
Across all four, her approach is the same.
Kathleen FlynnGUEST
Ward 2 isn't only urban Bowmanville.
Kathleen FlynnGUEST
It's Hampton, it's Birkton, it's the countryside.
Kathleen FlynnGUEST
And each of them have their own realities, right? So we have gravel roads and winter clearing ditches and drainage and wells and septic, spotty internet, but that could be a whole Clarington issue, and cell reception.
Kathleen FlynnGUEST
Don't get me started, right? That comes and goes.

Christopher BrownHOST
I grew up in Ontario and I was born and raised about 10 kilometers down the road from one of the major facilities, major aggregate facilities in our community.
Christopher BrownHOST
It's Clarington.
Christopher BrownHOST

I think it's a gravel quarry, but I could be wrong there.
Gerry OuelletteHOST
There's one on Whitby, I think it's Wednesdays.
Gerry OuelletteHOST
There's Clarington, Port Perry has them.
Gerry OuelletteHOST
Yeah, it's great to have a lot of farmers' markets, but the problem is that a lot of the farmers, the dirt farmers or the cash croppers or the dairy or the beef and the meat industry farmers are spreading themselves so thin.
Gerry OuelletteHOST
Yes.
Steve RagsHOST
Steve Raex at 425.
Steve RagsHOST
Today, I'm actually almost in the geographical center of Clarington, here on Liberty, north of Taunton Road.
Steve RagsHOST
Some might say that this area north of Taunton is almost forgotten by council.
Steve RagsHOST
Others say that the area East of Liberty is forgotten by council.
Steve RagsHOST
So it's an interesting place and some of the people who live in the urban areas of Clarington have never even been up here.
Steve RagsHOST
So here I am in the center of the municipality of Clarington.
Steve RagsHOST
On this side, they have their own local councilor.
Steve RagsHOST
On this side, they have their own local councilor.
