Ian Boddy filed his nomination papers today to run for his third term as Mayor of the City of Owen Sound, making it, to date,  a two way race with two-term Councillor Richard Thomas.

“I am proud of the positive changes we have made to build our community and make it a better place to live. I will continue to dedicate my time and energy over the next four years, as I have for the past eight years to attract jobs, housing and prosperity. To work that will take the stable, experienced and financially responsible leadership, that I have shown,”  said Boddy in a media release.

He continues "It has been several generations since Owen Sound has been in such a good position. I am seeking re-election to complete the work we have started.”

Boddy says he looks forward to meeting citizens and discussing his plans to continue the progress made on environmental issues, job attraction in the clean energy sector, housing, maintaining and enhancing services, and making sure we continue to have a safe, secure and inclusive community.
