Re-elect Nick to the Village Council in October 2026.

For the past 17 years, my family and I have proudly called Cumberland our home, and now I’m seeking re-election to Cumberland Council .

Why Me?

My wife and I are committed to living here for the rest of our lives, and I want Cumberland to be a place where we can all thrive as we age. It should also be a place where our children can live, learn, work, and prosper.

Over the past seventeen years, I’ve actively engaged in various volunteer and community service roles, just like many of you. Since 2024, I’ve had the privilege of serving on Council, and I ask for your support to build on that learning and experience as I continue working for you and the future of our community. 

Cumberland holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a unique community, rich in spirit, and while it means something different to each of us, we all share a common desire to preserve and enhance what makes it so special.

Thank you Cumberland. Honoured to be part of such a great new council, and to have campaigned alongside candidates and supporters who all want the very best for our amazing Village.

There may be beers and celebration tonight, then there is the sober duty to represent every single resident and build a future for us all. Looking forward to working with and for you all.

Hey Cumberland - it's Local Election Day tomorrow - Saturday 17th. And that means that the only knock on your door will come from those provincial candidates - we're done! - and it's been great to talk with so many of you on the doorstep, around the village and wherever we've met.

Campaigns are exhausting, for candidates and citizens alike, and I have so much gratitude for everyone involved in this messy thing we call democracy. So if you aren't one of the 23%+ Cumberland voters who got to the advance polls, please, use that hard-won right and take time to get to the Cultural Centre between 8am and 8pm and cast your votes. ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅

Im working again wit

I'm working again with the Cumberland Museum and Archives on digital storytelling and photos, and this lovely throwback popped up today. 1973 Council meeting. More paper, less table, more cigarettes, and apparently more elections - held every year for staggered two-year terms.

The record says 'names on the back' but doesn't list them. Obviously, there's Bronco Moncrief as Mayor, but does anyone know who else?!
