Bob Welling is proud to have the support of neighbours and community members across the Blue Mountains. Here’s what they have to say about his candidacy for Deputy Mayor.
“Bob Welling has an excellent understanding of the needs today and in the future for the betterment of the Town of the Blue Mountains. His experience in land development will be an asset for the many decisions and challenges that lie ahead for the town. He has strong leadership qualities, his knowledge will help make a positive impact and this is why I endorse Bob Welling in the roll of Deputy Mayor.”
“I have known Bob Welling for many years, both personally and through our involvement in the Blue Mountains community. What I have come to value most about Bob is his willingness to listen, ask difficult questions, and look for practical solutions. We haven’t always agreed on every issue, and I consider that a strength. Bob is prepared to hear another point of view, challenge his own thinking and work toward a sensible outcome. His business and community experience has given him a strong understanding of financial accountability, governance, project management and the realities of responsible growth. Those qualities are also central to the priorities he has set out publicly in his campaign. Just as importantly, I know Bob cares deeply about the Blue Mountains and about preserving the qualities that make this such a special place to live.”
“The Blue Mountains are well served by Bob Welling. I hope that with our support Bob will continue to contribute his time and energy for now and in the future.”
“I have known Bob for many years and had the opportunity to work with him on a local Condominium Corporation Board for three years. I found Bob to be a results-oriented, collaborative person. During this time he tirelessly worked to help complete the transition of the Condominium Corporation’s infrastructure (fresh water system), a process initiated by the town in 2009 but not completed. Bob not only demonstrated the ability to engage and work collaboratively with TBM staff and consultants, he also engaged with Council to move the project forward to a successful completion for the community and the town. Bob’s professional acumen blends a unique combination of listening, collaboration, engagement and accountability that yields results. I am confident that Bob will bring leadership that will move priority initiatives for TBM forward with a keen focus on outcomes, not just actions.”
