FOR PERTH MAYOR
Testimonials
I have known Anne through significant career transitions, including the launch of her own business. Throughout, she has remained a steadfast supporter of her community - a self-starter, motivator and initiator of worthwhile projects, including helping to found the Carleton Place Toastmasters Club.
When her community identifies a need, Anne responds with remarkable energy, compassion and a determined focus on results. She is pragmatic, but never rigid: she listens carefully, considers what people have to say and is willing to adjust course in pursuit of the common good.
That Combination of initiative, compassion and responsive leadership is why I am proud to support Anne McRae for Mayor.

I have worked with Isabel Anne McRae on several volunteer projects and can say with absolute confidence that she always has the best interests of the Perth community at heart.
Anne is dedicated and hardworking, and she has already made a significant impact on the health and safety of many local initiatives. She has devoted a great deal of time to strengthening our community,
I would be pleased to see Anne serve as Mayor and look forward to the continued positive impact she will make.

I have seen Anne's commitment to community firsthand. As Chair of The Table Community Food Centre, I witnessed her creativity, hard work and determination through her Toonies for the Table initiative, which raised tens of thousands of dollars.
As Chair of Linden Housing Co-op, I have also seen Anne's strong support for Linden from the time it was first envisioned. These experiences - and the many other ways Anne contributes - demonstrate her genuine passion for bringing people together and making our community stronger.
I am very pleased to support Anne's candidacy for Mayor.

I have had the true pleasure of working closely with Anne on a variety of projects. I have known her to be a dedicated, intelligent, and visionary leader who cares very deeply about her community and the people in it. I believe that the people of Perth would be very well served with Anne as their mayor and she would lead Perth through a period of much needed advancement to meet the ever-changing needs of its community.

Entrepreneur & Community Leader
Full disclosure: Isabel is one of my very best friends and has been for more than 10 years.
Throughout our friendship, I’ve seen her – as a mother, entrepreneur, sister, coach, aunt, wife, grandmother, manager, widow, musician, caregiver and friend - go through a huge range of the “stuff” life’s rollercoaster can throw at someone. She’s proven herself to be an amazing person – exceptionally bright and empathetic, with a deep caring for the well-being of her fellow citizens. Steadfastly kind, hard-working and observant, she’s absolutely unwavering in her ethics and impeccable integrity. Moreover, as a holder of public office, Isabel has not only demonstrated an outstanding sense of
responsibility but also critical insight into effective public policy.
The unique strength she brings to the office, however, is her remarkable ability to translate policy goals into practical reality. As mayor of Perth, Isabel-Anne McRae would bring all this to support a prosperous and thriving community. Perth would be fortunate indeed should she be elected mayor.

As a Tay Valley resident, frequent patron of Perth businesses, and outgoing Reeve, I am pleased - in my personal capacity - to endorse Anne McRae for Mayor.
Anne is an exceptionally dedicated and hard-working citizen and public servant, as demonstrated through her first term on Perth Council. She cares deeply for her community, and for all of the residents of Perth. She is a good listener, is even-tempered, thoughtful, fair-minded, and ideas-oriented, and is brimming with determination. These are qualities voters should be looking for in those who serve or wish to serve in public office.
I am confident Anne will be a great leader for the Town of Perth, and as Head of Council to also serve with distinction on Lanark County Council. I encourage Perth voters in the next municipal election to elect Anne McRae as Mayor, and to give her and Council as much support as possible as they work as a team to address challenges before the Town, and to capture opportunities for public benefit.
