We support John Webster as Ward Five Councillor

“John has been deeply involved in bringing three-stream waste management to the entire town. When he joined Council, three-stream was just an interesting experiment in his ward, with little support to take it town wide. John was a key player in getting it done. Markham’s now the envy of North America, with municipalities visiting from around the world to find out how to do it right.”
David Tsubouchi, former Councillor and MPP for Markham

“I support John because he’s a real advocate for public safety. John worked hard at Council to get us new fire fighting equipment.

Right now, John is actively working with the department to establish the new fire station in Cornell so that residents of Ward 5 are protected on all sides.”
District Chief Dave Forfar
Markham Fire and Emergency Services


“A number of fellow Cornell residents had been telling town staff that traffic was cutting through Riverlands Avenue to reach Church Street, all because Bur Oak Avenue was still not open to traffic. This was a big issue for residents. When we brought the issue to John’s attention, he cut through the red tape and the problem was solved in a matter of days.”
Andrew Keyes, community activist, Cornell

"The Markham Village Merchant’s Association has been working on a revitalization plan for the future of the business community of Markham Village. John was not only an active participant in the meetings, he also facilitated meetings with Town Staff, which solved problems and moved our projects forward. John has created the connections to get the job done.

"When the chance came to regain control of Markham Road for the Town, John jumped at the opportunity. Without John’s support, more trucks would still be rumbling down Main Street every day."
Roger Clements, owner, Old Curiousity Tea Shop

"John isn’t your average businessman turned politician. I don’t like taxes any more than anyone else, John works to make sure they’re spent wisely. John has consistently voted to spend where we need it and against spending where we shouldn’t. I can’t ask for better than that."
Dr. Ken Ng,

"John and I have worked together many times on Markham community projects. John gets things done. He has also brought great pride to Markham as the World Champion Town Crier. I sincerely recommend that we return John to Council.
Tony Murphy,

"John is a man of integrity. A man of his word. I have watched John take stands that he knew were right, even though they were not to his advantage. Few politicians that I have observed hold themselves to John's level of integrity."
John Niles, MSM, President The Empire Club of Canada, Senior Minister St. Andrew's United Church
