Phillip Jolicoeur
Candidate for Peterborough City Council Ward 5 Northcrest

Let's Talk About Your Peterborough.

I am running to bring preparation, honesty, calm leadership, and a strong Northcrest voice to City Hall.

Tell me What Matters

Not my Peterborough.
Not City Hall's Peterborough.
Your Peterborough.

This campaign should not begin with me handing you a finished list of answers and asking you to agree. It should begin with a conversation about what is working, what is not, and what kind of city we want to leave to the people who come after us.

I am not running because I believe one councillor can fix everything. Municipal government works through votes, budgets, professional staff, community partners, and other levels of government. I will not make promises that are beyond the authority of one councillor or beyond the City's ability to deliver.

What I can promise is preparation. I can promise honesty. I will show up, ask difficult questions, listen carefully, explain my decisions, and keep working with people even when we disagree.

I do not see Peterborough as a problem to manage. I see a community worth serving.

What You Can Expect From Me:

  • I will show up.

  • I will do the homework.

  • I will ask difficult questions.

  • I will listen carefully.

  • I will explain my decisions.

  • I will tell you what I know and what I do not know.

  • I will keep working with people even when we disagree.

Five Priorities.
Clear Commitments.

Safer neighbourhoods. Thoughtful growth. Safe and reliable transportation. A more complete response to housing, homelessness, addiction, and mental health. Responsible spending and honest accountability.
