We asked him why he isn&#8217;t running again, whether we might see his name on a future ballot, and what advice he has for new councillors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are his answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve really enjoyed my time on council. It&#8217;s been incredibly rewarding serving the community and meeting and working alongside so many great residents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided to focus more of my energy on building and helping others to build more efficient, more resilient and more environmentally conscious homes. My hope is that a greater number of people can access housing that&#8217;s more affordable not only to own but also operate on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ll ever see my name on a ballot again but anything is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advice I would give to the new members of council would be twofold: firstly, focus on one or two things you really want to have an impact on besides the typical issues and decisions that come with the post. Don&#8217;t be afraid to take charge in those areas and push ideas forward. Secondly, I would steer clear of the constant negative comments you typically find on social media. Feedback and communication is very important but sometimes the comment section devolves into a pile on of complaints and those voices shouldn\u2019t be the only ones heard.&nbsp;Reach out to constituents and ask for their opinions. I always enjoyed chatting with folks about what\u2019s happening around the council table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to thank the proud residents of Huntsville for entrusting me at the table these last eight years. I always did my best. I also&nbsp;wish to thank Mayor Terziano and Deputy Mayor Alcock for their leadership and guidance through an unprecedented phase in our history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As one of the youngest sitting councillors in the past two terms of Huntsville Council for Chaffey Ward, we reached out to Councillor Jonathan Wiebe.
