David Parmer is running for Whitchurch-Stouffville Town Council. Three decades in the classroom and two decades of service on Stouffville's boards taught him the same lesson: listen first, read the file, and do the work.

A science teacher's method: gather the evidence, consult the people affected, explain the decision in plain language.
The independence
No party. No faction. A non-partisan record of working with everyone.
