| Info | Jim McDonell has been a resident of the riding of Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry for 52 years, living primarily in Williamstown in South Glengarry. With his wife, school teacher Margie McDonell, he shares three children in their twenties: Marion, Chelsea and Bernie. Jim studied Mechanical Engineering at Queen’s University and went on to work 32 years in Telecommunications at Bell Canada. He has been the Mayor of South Glengarry for the past 8 years and prior to that was a councillor in the townships of South Glengarry and Charlottenburgh. He was also a Warden for the United Counties of Stormont Dundas and Glengarry in 2006.
At Bell Canada, Jim was involved in securing three rounds of provincial funding that provided high speed internet to almost 100% of his township, a first in rural Ontario. Through his involvement with municipal government Jim has interacted with a variety of provincial administrations. He has been frustrated by increasing unnecessary provincial regulation and the negative effect this has on our province, especially in rural areas. At Queen’s Park, Jim plans to advocate for predictable municipal funding, elimination of over-regulation and better health care. With 17 years in municipal government, 27 years as a community volunteer and a background in agriculture as well as engineering, Jim has what it takes to represent the people of Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry in the Ontario Legislature.
