The Government structure for the Municipality of Powassan includes a Mayor and six Councillors.

Each member of Council also sits on various Standing Committees.

The Mayor, Bob Young

I am a life long resident of Powassan. I have three children, two live here in the community as well as my grandchildren. Powassan is a great and safe place to live with many forms of recreation and activities for all ages. In order for Powassan to continue to move forward, I encourage residents to share their ideas and visions with Council or Staff. We look forward to hearing your ideas and concerns, good and bad.

As your Mayor, serving our community for the next four years, I would like to hear from you. You can contact the office at 724-2813 or through this website.

Councillor Nancy Barner

Councillor Nancy Barner is the Deputy Mayor.

Councillor Blair Beatty

I am a long standing member of this community. I have raised 2 sons here. I would like to thank all those who supported me in the election, and I look forward to serving you for another term of council.

Councillor Gerry Giesler

I was born and raised in Powassan. I served 3 years in the Armed Forces and after my release, graduated from Cambrian College with a civil engineering technologist degree. In 1993, I “retired” to work in our family business of building cedar strip boats. I am married with two children.

I believe that as a representative of the Municipality, we need to communicate clearly and honestly on what we can and cannot do. If you have any concerns regarding the Municipality, please feel free to contact me.

Councillor Roger Glabb

I am very excited to have been elected for another term of Council. My goal this term is to work with Council to finish old projects and create new ones that will continue to show that the Municipality of Powassan is a leader in the region. I will continue to represent each and every person in the community and continue to fight the good fights on behalf of everyone. Thank you for your trust.

Councillor Peter McIsaac

I would like to thank the people of Powassan, Trout Creek and South Himsworth for their support in the recent Municipal Election. I look forward to the challenges that await me as a municipal Councillor. I will promote the entire Municipality in a fair and positive manner. I will protect the assets we now enjoy. I will respect all the people of the Municipality. I will do my best to help develop the sense of community that we all desire.

Councillor George Thompson

As a Councillor for the Municipality of Powassan, I, George Thompson, will truly, faithfully, and impartially exercise this office to the best of my knowledge and ability.

I have lived in this community for 45 years. I worked for the Ministry of Correctional Services for 30 years and have retired. Happily married with two daughters who are married and have blessed Carol and I with two grand daughters.

I enjoy hunting and fishing whenever possible. I enjoy helping out my elderly neighbours with snow removal and grass cutting etc. I have started my third term of Council and enjoy most of my assignments. I am known as a people person and I enjoy working within the Municipality for our residents.

Sincerely,

Councillor George Thompson
