Steve Perry, candidate for Collingwood Council

Connected neighbourhoods. Safer ways to move. Important projects carried forward.

MEET STEVE

Collingwood is home.

I’ve spent my career as a small business owner. It taught me that leadership is really about people: building a good team, listening, managing a budget carefully and making sure the work gets done.

That same belief has shaped my time on Council and my volunteer work with Hospice Georgian Triangle and the Blue Mountain Snowdrifters. I try to show up, do my part and work well with the people around me.

Linda and I have been married for 21 years. Together, we have four kids and three grandkids. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me golfing, skiing, snowmobiling, kayaking or walking our dog, Baylee. I love this community and I’m running again because I want to help keep it a great place to live—for every generation.

My priorities are straightforward: make it safer and easier to get around, bring people together and see the important projects already underway through to completion.

— Steve

RECORD & PRIORITIES

What I’ll keep working on.

There is good work underway in Collingwood. I want to keep it moving and make sure residents can see the difference.

A More Connected Collingwood

Make Collingwood a pedestrian- and bike-friendly town where people feel comfortable leaving their cars behind.

  • Expand Collingwood’s trail network
  • Bring traffic-calming measures to town streets
  • Improve crossings for cyclists and pedestrians
  • Link Collingwood’s trails to Blue Mountain

Leadership That Brings People Together

Bring a diplomatic, respectful and practical approach shaped by my first term on Council and my years as a business owner.

My approach is simple: listen carefully, find common ground and keep the work moving forward.

GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP

Work on the international stage

In 2025, Steve visited Ghana as part of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Partnerships for Municipal Innovation (PMI). This initiative is fully funded by the federal government through Global Affairs Canada and delivered by FCM to help strengthen local governance systems and empower local leaders in international countries.
