His story
Community is not a talking point. It is the work.
As a Newmarket artist and volunteer, Glenn knows that strong communities are built person by person. They grow when people feel welcome, when local ideas are taken seriously, and when public leaders remain available long after election day.
Glenn Marais is a dedicated Newmarket resident, passionate educator, and proven community leader running for Ward 2 Councillor.
With over two decades calling Newmarket home, Glenn has deeply invested his time and energy into the people and neighbourhoods that make this town special. He brings a unique blend of creative problem-solving, unwavering leadership, and a profound commitment to serving the community.
His experience bringing people together has shaped a straightforward approach to leadership: listen without assumptions, work across differences, communicate clearly, and follow through.
“I want every Ward 2 resident to know that their voice matters—and that their councillor is ready to listen and act.”
This campaign is about practical service: safer neighbourhood streets, responsible planning, strong local culture and business, and a town government that treats public trust with care.
