In their own words, via the Town
A 25 year resident of the Bancroft area, Valerie Miles is honored and grateful to have been elected to a second term on council. Originally from Hamilton, coming to Bancroft was an exciting life change that has proved to be a personal and professional success. Recently retired from the Real Estate Profession, Valerie has extensive experience in understanding housing, development and full recognition of the value of a place to call home, to the health and growth of our community. Valerie looks forward to another 4 years of bringing opportunity, growth and an amazing living or visitor experience to this spectacular place we call home.

This council rarely calls recorded votes, so individual positions are only on the record where one was demanded. Under the Municipal Act that is the council's choice, not an omission in this record.

What this does not measure
- Motions moved is not a measure of effectiveness. Who moves a motion is often a seat convention or a committee role, and the member who does the work on a file is frequently not the one who reads it out.
- Nobody is ranked against anybody. These figures are counted against this member's own meetings and are never totalled or compared.
- Absence is not explained. The minutes record who was not there and almost never why. Illness, a declared conflict and a family emergency all appear the same way.
- What was said is not here. This record reads the minutes, which record decisions, not debate.
