Stephanie Bernier
Stephanie Bernier is a 36 year old mother of two beautiful kids (18 and 15). She grew up in Timmins, but then moved to Cochrane by choice. She graduated grade 12 after having a baby at 17. She volunteers pretty much every chance she gets. From being on the carnival committee to a girl guide leader to even helping the army cadet corp, you can find Stephanie dedicating her time to a variety of local groups. She has wanted to join the town council for years and finally found the courage to make the leap this year. Stephanie is running for council in Cochrane, Ontario.
Why did you decide to run for council?
I have wanted to for years and I finally decided that change needs to happen, and I feel I can bring something new to the table.
If you received a $1 million grant to use for your city any way you wanted, what would you do with it?
Oh, where do I start? I would fix a lot of things that need to be fixed and try to better our beautiful little town with positive steps forward.
What is your favourite thing to do in your city?
My favorite thing to do in my city is getting out there and exploring it. Yes, it is a small town but I love every piece of it. I try and do as many activities as I can, as well as try and help out as much as I can to make more things possible for others to do.
What do you cherish most about your community?
I can go on and on and on. I love my little town - you know who your neighbours are, and everyone is just so friendly. It actually feels like one big, happy family.
