Testimonials

I moved to North Bay because of opportunity, I love North Bay because of the people, I plan to stay in North Bay because of the future Peter keeps telling me he wants to help build. I want to be a part of that.

I have met Peter on several occasions over the past few years. Peter is charismatic and his passion for change is evident. There is no doubt that he has the best interest of our future generation at the forefront. Peter is a family man, and I am confident his primary focus will be to create the change North Bay needs to ensure our children grow up in a safe and innovative city. Peter has my vote for Mayor of North Bay.

Working with Peter on a variety of community focused projects over the years, I can say without question, Peter is dedicated to making our City a better place.

From being a lifelong member of the Davedi Club to raising awareness and money for too many community campaigns to count, the name Chirico is synonymous with community building. Peter Chirico is a personal friend, that’s for sure, but more importantly he is a friend to North Bay. We need Chico as Mayor, we need his drive, his enthusiasm, his honesty, his humour and his dedication. Buona fortuna Pete.

I want my kids and grandkids to call North Bay home, but without a plan for getting this city back on track, I worry they will live elsewhere.  I believe he is truly committed to making things better.

My business interests are diverse, but Peter has taken the time to understand what we do and how we do it, and he has gone to bat for us as President of the Chamber and on the board at the NOHFC. Peter always comes through, and his assistance means we have been expanding and hiring. Peter is the right person to elect as Mayor to help accelerate this growth. He has my vote.

I have known Peter for 50 + years and he is a good friend of our family. We need someone with a vision for the future, a flexible plan as a guide. With Peter in the Mayor’s office, I think we can get things back on track.

Since I’ve known Peter I have witnessed first-hand his dedication to this city, and drive to make change, through his volunteering and time with the North Bay & District Chamber of Commerce. Peter has not only been a great friend, but he has been one of the best mentors, being young and new(ish) to the business community. There is no doubt in my mind that with Peter’s strong leadership and vision for a brighter future, he is the Mayor this city needs. A vote for Peter is a vote for change!

I’ve known Peter for much of my life and I’ve always admired his dedication and commitment to this community. I am confident he is the leader we need and will drive change for the better in North Bay.

Over the last 15 years I have had the opportunity to work with Peter on many different community projects and have learned that he listens, exchanges ideas, solves problems, and is a great leader. I believe in Peter Chirico and his platform to move our community forward. Peter is the exact person to lead our city for the next four years.

The candidate for Mayor I believe has the edge, in terms of experience, care for the community, business acumen, and drive is Peter Chirico. I’ve known Peter for almost a decade as a family man, a community leader, and a friend to small business. Peter steadfastly lead the Chamber through arguably the most difficult financial time in generations, and his calm demeanor, even head, and passionate advocacy were essential when going to government on behalf of our community. Peter cares about our serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and veterans in North Bay. In my efforts to advocate on behalf of veterans, Peter has always had a “what can I do to help” attitude. As Honorary Colonel, Peter represents our military families and is an excellent spokesman for the aviators of CFB North Bay. Having a Mayor who appreciates what the military community does for North Bay is important to me. I believe Peter Chirico will be an excellent Mayor for the people of North Bay

Over the past 20 years I have had the privilege of working with Peter in a variety of professional capacities. I am proud to support his campaign for mayor and I am confident in his abilities to create change, support local business and lead us through much-needed downtown revitalization efforts.

The recent Cogeco mayoral candidates’ debate has confirmed my long held belief that Peter Chirico has the experience, skills and human qualities to provide the leadership that will be needed to move North Bay forward during the upcoming challenging years.

As a long time citizen of North Bay, I can say that Peter has the plan to ensure the city grows, where small businesses are supported and supporting the community as a whole. Peter has shown much dedication and commitment in his respective roles as Deputy Mayor, City Councilor and now President of the Chamber of Commerce. Without question, with Peter in the Mayor’s seat, the city will be on the right track.

I have known Peter as an exemplary leader for at least 10 years. During this time I have witnessed his devotion to North Bay. Peter goes above and beyond to promote and support the growth of businesses and not-for-profit organizations.

Peter is committed to creating a positive flourishing community. Peter has a wealth of knowledge and experience; his professionalism and kindness is evident in everything in which he participates. Peter will bring this to our city each and every day.

He is tireless in his pursuit of creating a healthy and thriving future for all.

This community needs positive change and Peter is the change we need!

I have known Peter for over 3 decades.  I know him to be hard working, determined, and motivated to do the right thing.  Peter’s unique mix of political and administrative experience enables him better understand North Bay’s needs long into the future.  He is my choice for North Bay’s next Mayor!.

I’m grateful for the life my family and I have been able to live in North Bay. This is a great place to call home. The struggles our city faces, and the problems we need to solve, will only be addressed through strong leadership, a well thought out plan, and lessons learned from years of experience. We need Peter Chirico leading a council of like minded folks to get the job done.

Over 4-years ago, I immersed myself within the small business community of North Bay. Since day one there has been no doubt in my mind that Peter Chirico’s loyalty and dedication lays within the growth of our community. I am proud to say that I support Peter Chirico for Mayor.

I’ve been around politics locally for many years. I’ve even chaired a campaign or two. In one memorable contest my candidate defeated Peter but that never changed the warm relationship Peter and I have had for many, many years. Peter is a good friend to our family and good friend to our City. I urge you to vote for Peter Chirico for Mayor.

Peter and I were elected for the first time to North Bay City Council in 2001…As I was Chair of Community Services then,  I saw first-hand the work that Peter was always willing to put in..we didn’t always agree on everything as good Council members should never do, but when our perspectives differed, Peter respectfully worked to share his opinion in an effort to reach consensus. Peter is a leader and he has our best interests at heart. I live downtown. I believe he is the right person to guide and right the ship. From those Council days long ago, there was pride in our City, we all supported each other as Council members to do the best we could for our citizens. Peter will do that now.

For generations my family has called North Bay home. I believe that strong leadership, experience and forward thinking is required for change. Peter Chirico checks all the boxes!

I love North Bay and I want my grandchildren to love it as much as I do.  That is why I support Peter Chirico. We both love this town and want it to be the best place to live for generations to come.

Peter, through the North Bay & District Chamber of Commerce, has been one of the driving forces behind the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, and we are now seeing many applicants acquiring permanent residence through the program. Peter sees immigration as a key growth indicator for the city and he works well with the many partner organizations involved in RNIP. Applicants are extremely happy when they receive a community recommendation with Peter’s signature on it.

Peter has been a pillar in our community since we moved here 30 years ago. He has supported our business every step of the way and I fully support Peter in his run for mayor for the city of North bay.
