MEET ALISON
Your Voice For Oakville.
COMMITTED TO SERVICE
A dedicated leader anchored in strong values, Alison has always believed in public service and has pivoted to devote a significant amount of her time to advance this passion. Alison was the Ontario Liberal candidate in the 2022 Ontario election and since then has been focusing on what really matters: the idea that politics, at its core, is simple—it is about people.
Over a decade ago, Alison and Pierre-Yves chose Oakville as their home. They knew it was the perfect place to fully immerse themselves, to build a life, and to raise a family. Alison is proudly committed to growing the middle class and supporting every family in Oakville. Alison understands what it will take to get the economy back on track and how to create good, well-paying jobs in the community. She will never stop working hard to create a better future for all.
