I have been asked if a female older adult can be a successful mayor and my answer is a resounding yes.

Age is not a negative, but a positive non-issue. My age has afforded me a life of personal experience in communication as well as engaging and empowering people. 

I tell everyone to take a good, hard look at me, Evelyn Dutrisac, the person. What you see is me working hard and doing well every day, with vigour, enthusiasm and dedication, on any task or initiative that I am given. I stand strongly on my accomplishments and my proven record. 

In this election for the mayor of Greater Sudbury:

I am the candidate with 18 years of municipal experience;

I am the candidate with two undergraduate university degrees and a master’s degree;

I am the candidate who has worked over the years on numerous committees dealing with

budgets, fiscal responsibilities, social programs and running a municipality;

I am the candidate who currently sits on three municipal committees;

I am the candidate with volunteers on many boards throughout the greater city and Canada;

I am the candidate who has the contacts and experience working with the three levels of municipal, provincial and federal governments.

I am Evelyn Dutrisac, a person you have always seen out and about the city working with and for others, a person dedicated to improving the lives of the people in the City of Greater

Sudbury and a person who will be the mayor that the city can be proud of. 

When I am mayor, I will utilize the contacts that I have made with municipal, provincial and federal government leaders and staff to ensure that I can provide the best fiscally responsible and advantageous programs for the City of Greater Sudbury.

I care about Greater Sudbury. I am running to serve, not rule. Age is not an issue; what is vital is what’s in one’s heart.

Evelyn Dutrisac is running to be mayor of Greater Sudbury in the Oct. 24 municipal election.
