Friends of Jim Erb

Dear Friends,

We are “Friends of Jim Erb.” A couple of weeks ago Jim registered as a candidate to seek re-election to Regional Council to represent the City of Waterloo in the municipal election which will take place on Monday, October 24 th . He was first elected to Regional Council in October of 2018 and previously served eight years on Waterloo City Council.

As a member of Regional Council, Jim has shared his strong interest in affordable housing as chair of the Affordable Housing and Homelessness Steering Committee. He also has been a member of the Economic Development Steering Committee and numerous ad-hoc committees. Jim successfully owned and operated Erb & Good Family Funeral Home in Waterloo for 30 years. As a
community volunteer, he has been member of the Kitchener Conestoga Rotary Club for 38 years and served in various capacities with House of Friendship, The Working Centre, KidsAbility Foundation, Waterloo Region Habitat for Humanity and Shalom Counselling. He has been recognized with several
honours including being named Citizen of the Year, receiving both the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Medals, and being given the Canadian Caring Award by Governor General David Johnston. Jim has been active in various interfaith initiatives and is a member of Erb Street Mennonite Church.

Jim made the following commitments when announcing his intent to seek re-election. If given the honour of being re-elected by the citizens of Waterloo, I will continue advocating for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities by:
* working to create more affordable housing
* addressing the challenge of providing adequate and safe shelter care spaces, and
* through the Region’s newly established Equity, Diversity and Inclusion department, a commitment to creating a Region where everyone feels they are included and belong.

Given that the provincial government has not shown any interest in a governance review of our current municipal structure, he feels it is important for the community, councillors, and staff to work at finding continuous improvements and the opportunity for the scaling of resources among our eight municipalities which will result in more efficient and responsive local government.

This letter is to invite you to join us in supporting Jim by making a financial contribution to his campaign. There is additional information included with this letter highlighting guidelines for election contributions along with a pre-addressed envelope and reply form to assist with your contribution.

In anticipation of your contribution, thank you for supporting Jim’s campaign.
Yours sincerely ………. “Friends of Jim Erb”
