How does being a guest and the staff at Muskoka Woods help shape a young man to become mayor? Long-time Muskoka Woods guest and then staff, Iain Lovatt joins John McAuley on the podcast where he shares how his time at Muskoka Woods shaped the way he approaches his current role as mayor of Whitchurch-Stouffville, a growing town of 50,000 located just 20 minutes north of Toronto.
During the first half of the conversation, Iain brought us into the journey to become the elected Mayor of this town. It’s a weird and unexpected ride, that he simply opened himself up to as he went. On the second half of this conversation, Iain brings us in to the daily workings of life as a Mayor, and opens up his vision for this great community even more. Whitchurch Stouffville is just a town of 50k. But I love getting an inside look at what it takes to become the mayor, from the mindset, to the drive, the skillset, and mostly the teamwork necessary every day - this conversation could be with a politician on the provincial or federal scale and it would still have the same themes running through it of discovery, direction, and doing the thing. What I love most of all is Iain’s determination to prioritize his family, and to bring a team around him. My friends, if you’re on track for politics, or you want to get involved, or you are staying far away, you still need to focus on your family and get a team around you.
Mayor Lovatt of Whitchurch-Stouffville sits down with me in his chambers (office) with a coffee and a wide open conversation about what it’s really like to be the Mayor, to go through the grind of a campaign, to react to the changes life brings your way, and to put family and community as priority through it all. I’m really just so curious throughout this conversation, as I’ve never been anywhere close to holding political office, I take this conversation as an opportunity to ask everything I’ve ever wanted to about the life of the Mayor. This conversation is an open door to the life of the Mayor, my friends. Iain is 48 years old, with an unexpected journey that led to this moment. Has Iain always thought of being Mayor, or running for office? Absolutely not, in fact he says, “I had no political aspirations ever, growing up…it’s been a process that’s evolved over time.” But at this point in life there is no doubt this is what he’s made for. His journey is a fantastic picture to study and rest in, whatever stage you may be at in life, to know that what you’re doing right now may not be what you’re doing in 5 years and what you’re doing later in life may surprise you. Enjoy part one of this chat, all about the journey to get into office - from the days of college wanting to be a teacher, to knocking on doors during the campaign. Part two will drop in a couple of days.
