After 25 years of serving the Town of Perth, long-time councilor Bill White doesn’t seem to be throwing in the towel anytime soon. In fact, the veteran politician is looking to run one more for another term.
White, who was born and raised in Perth, was first elected as councilor in 1985. Over the years, he’s seen how the Town of Perth has grown, and now he’s looking forward to watch over the town as it progresses even further over his next term. His basic tenet when it comes to decision making is simple—“Use common sense.”
He points out that there are still plenty of things that need to be done here in Perth—things he feels can be accomplished if he’s given another chance to serve the community. As a highly regarded councillor, White holds two positions: head of the parks and recreation department, and member of the Water and Sewer Board. He also has experience with the town’s police service, having spent 10 years as part of the Police Services Board.
Among some of White’s major achievements include the creation of Conlon Farm’s recreation facilities, as well as spearheading a move to enhance recreational services in Perth.
