Jeffrey Halsall - "The Local Approach"

08/28/2026

Well, looks like it’s official!

I’m running for Caledon Town Council in Ward 1 in this year’s municipal election!

I’ve thought about this for a long time, and I’ve decided that it’s definitely time to give it a shot!

I’m running because I honestly believe that Ward 1 needs someone who is going to both listen to the people who live here and speak up tremendously for them at Council!

There are a lot of things going on in Ward 1 right now. We have the ongoing issues with gravel pits and fill sites, and I don’t want another situation like Swan Lake to happen here — not that that is even over.

We have traffic and road safety concerns ongoing like crazy, and that’s not even to mention Highway 10! We have issues in our villages and hamlets that always get overlooked. And we have decisions being made at the Town, Region and Province that have a very real, everyday impact on the people who live here.

And that’s not even to mention how Town Council can’t seem to work together, whether it’s the little things or the things that really matter.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I do believe that if we’re going to elect someone to represent Ward 1, that person needs to constantly listen, ask questions, push back when necessary, and be certain our concerns are heard, no matter what it takes!

That’s what I will do!

My campaign is called The Local Approach because I believe local government should start with the people who actually live here.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be talking more about what I believe, the issues I want to work on, and what I think we can do better.

For now, I just wanted to say:

I’m running!

And I’d really appreciate your support.

P.S. yes, I know I forgot my cowboy hat in this picture 😆

This is it, Dufferin–Caledon.

Tomorrow, we face a choice:
Authentic, home-grown leadership or more of the same party politics.

I’m not part of a political machine.
I’m not taking orders from anyone in Ottawa.
I’m one of you — born here, raised here, and ready to stand with you, no matter what.

This campaign isn’t about me.
It’s about us — our families, our businesses, and the future we want to build together. We’ve fought for every moment, every conversation, every handshake — because this is personal.

Together, we’ve built a campaign that reflects the heart, grit, and deep love we have for Dufferin–Caledon.
And now, the choice is in your hands.

Let’s send a message that Ottawa can’t ignore:
We want home-grown leadership, not party politics. We want our community’s voice to be heard loud and clear.

It’s time to bring it home.
Let’s make history. Let’s make it count.

Vote independent. Vote for Dufferin–Caledon. Vote for the future we deserve.

Big News!

I’m officially confirmed as your Independent candidate in the upcoming Federal Election for Dufferin–Caledon on April 28th!

Our communities deserve a voice that puts people over party, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do. With The Local Approach, I’m committed to championing local priorities, supporting families and small businesses, and shaking up a system that's been out of touch for too long - one that too often works for political insiders instead of real people!

This campaign isn’t about politics as usual — it’s about you, your family, and the future of Dufferin–Caledon!

I’ll be sharing more in the days ahead, and I’d love your support! Let’s build something real — together.

After just two short weeks of campaigning in the middle of a snowstorm-filled winter, I am honoured to have received 384 votes as your Independent candidate in the 2025 Ontario Provincial Election!

This campaign was never just about an election—it was about The Local Approach and putting our community first. The conversations, connections, and momentum we’ve built together are the real success.

And this is just the beginning. My commitment to advocating for families, small businesses, better infrastructure, and accountable government isn’t ending here. I will continue to be active in our community, standing up for the issues that matter to Dufferin-Caledon.

Let’s keep this momentum going! If you believe in a local, independent voice, I’d love to hear from you.
