I am originally from Ethelbert, MB where I grew up on a farm. My wife Margaret and I moved to Carberry in 1976, built a home and raised our family here while being employed at the local potato plant. I have had a long career as a Power Engineer at the plant here, at Maple Leaf, and lastly as Chief Engineer at Brandon Regional Health Centre. Being director of the Institute of Power Engineers and a member of Certified Technicians and Technologist Association of Manitoba as well as a former director of Westoba Credit Union has given me the knowledge needed as a Councilor.

I was a 4H instructor for ten years, helped with Cubs and Scouts and various sports our children took part in. I enjoy camping and fishing and I build various furniture and musical instruments as a hobby. We are able to spend enjoyable time watching our grandkids grow.

Mike moved to Carberry in 2016 and fell in love with the town. Currently a firefighter at Southport, Mike was born in the greater Toronto area and lived in various locations with the military, including Shilo as a member of the 2nd Battalion PPCLI. After leaving the military he moved back to Toronto but ended up moving back west, bouncing from place to place until he found Carberry. After joining the local fire department, he quickly realized that this was a town that felt like home, and one you could become very involved in. He worked in the town as a rink attendant and public works labourer and foreman before working for the CPR as a conductor.

Mike ran for Council as he wanted to assist with the decisions that shape the future of the Town of Carberry. He recommends Carberry to anyone who would like to live in a small town with a big heart. He cannot see himself living or raising his family anywhere else!

Currently in his third term on Town Council, John is happy to hear your feedback and ideas for the future of Carberry.
