Despite her relaxed demeanour, Coun. Pitchforth knows how to get down to business, serving as chairwoman of both the operations committee and the budget deliberations for an unprecedented four years. Her cool-headed guidance during the March proceedings helped council breeze through all items on the budget with little or no contention. Her tireless energy is reflected in her perfect attendance of meetings and the long hours she dedicates to community initiatives. Coun. Pitchforth's cheerful charm allows people to feel comfortable in her presence and take heed of issues that matter the most to her. These include ensuring small businesses stay afloat, particularly in Brooklin, and preserving the town's heritage through her role on the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee.

Sue Pitchforth
Ward 1 North

This year's grade: A

Last year's grade: A

Coun. Pitchforth exudes a warm, earnest allure that makes her one of the most approachable members of council. With her plate already full through heavy involvement in the community, she boasts an exemplary attendance record and keeps herself up to speed in Town matters while serving as a calm and collected chairwoman of both the operations committee and budget proceedings. She stood strong on behalf of Brooklin small business owners in her refusal to allow massive commercial development outside of the Baldwin Street corridor, convincing the majority of council to take on the same position.

Attendance: Council 33/33, Committee 14/14
