Endorsed by the people who've watched him work.

Michael Thompson has been an absolute giant on Aurora Council. I can't think of another councillor over my forty years in Aurora who conveys such professionalism and integrity. In my opinion Councillor Thompson is highly intelligent and extremely thorough when it comes to municipal governance.

Our community is very fortunate to have Councillor Thompson help lead our amazing municipality for the next four years. Aurora deserves the best.

Local bylaws can make or break small businesses. As an Aurora business operator, I strongly endorse Councillor Michael Thompson because he is attentive, accessible and practical.

Michael truly understands our day-to-day challenges, and his decisive guidance when drafting bylaws affecting recreational properties like St. Andrew's Valley shows he is committed to preserving what makes Aurora special.

We've lived in Aurora for ten years, and in that time we've interacted with several Council members across three different terms. Michael Thompson truly stands out as a councillor who genuinely represents his constituents.

He's approachable and thoughtful, carefully considering residents' input and following through with concrete action on the issues that matter to Aurora and specifically to Ward 4. Michael listens and then acts, delivering thorough, well-reasoned decisions rather than dismissive answers.

I am writing to strongly endorse Councillor Michael Thompson for re-election to Aurora Town Council. As our community grows, Ward 4 needs an experienced, steady voice who understands how to balance rapid development with practical local infrastructure.

Michael has a proven track record of converting tax dollars into real, community-wide results. Michael has played a part in the expansion of the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, the brand-new gymnasium at the Aurora Recreational Complex, and the multi-sport artificial turf field at Sheppard’s Bush. Additionally, his successful re-establishment of the Finance Advisory Committee has kept Aurora’s tax rates among the lowest in York Region, ensuring our money is managed responsibly.

For Ward 4, Michael’s core priorities are exactly what we need: advocating for sensible growth that respects existing neighbourhoods, keeping our community safe, and ensuring municipal government remains fiscally responsible. Most importantly, Michael is a councillor who actively listens and stands up as a direct voice for the residents.

I have known Michael for many years. In my experience as a resident in Ward 4, Michael has always been very responsive to any questions and concerns I have had. Michael takes his role seriously. He is approachable and accountable. He actively listens to concerns and follows through with a response or resolution. This is exactly what we need and should expect from our Ward councillors.

I will be pleased to give my vote to Michael Thompson for Ward 4 Councillor in the upcoming election!

Michael is very knowledgeable about the needs of Aurorans, especially in Ward 4. As a recent example, he put forward a motion to strengthen the Official Plan (OPA 34) on development along Yonge Street South, to protect residents in that area from aggressive developers. His motion was accepted with a few adjustments.

Michael is always a very professional Councillor who researches the subject beforehand, and he is seldom absent from Council meetings.

I am pleased to endorse Michael Thompson for re-election as Councillor for Ward 4.

Michael can always be found at all the town activities supporting the events organized by the staff of the Town of Aurora. He has all the qualities I value in an elected representative.

For these reasons, I personally endorse Michael Thompson for re-election in Ward 4.

Since the inception of the ward system I no longer have the opportunity to vote for Michael, which is a shame, because he would definitely get my vote. Over the years we have had many interactions and Michael always viewed situations with an open mind and logical thinking. It is my sincere hope that we continue to see him at the Council table.

Throughout Michael's 16 years on Council he has been that steady voice that brings a balanced and skillful approach to the table. His business experience and acumen is what's often been needed to present a view based on facts and reality over politics. Michael has been that voice of reason. He has given much back to the Town and is widely respected.

He is always supportive, responsive and efficient in addressing residents' concerns and issues with the Town. Michael listens, takes action, and follows through. We need more dedicated public servants like him.

It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Michael Thompson for Ward 4 Town Councillor. Aurora requires leaders who are accessible, fiscally responsible, and deeply invested in protecting the character of our community while driving strategic growth. Throughout his tenure, Councillor Thompson has consistently delivered on his promises, serving as a steady hand and a champion for Aurora’s families, athletes, and local businesses.

Michael has a vision for Aurora’s future, and he is not done working for you. His priority remains delivering balanced community growth, keeping municipal spending transparent, and completing the major recreational and cultural projects currently underway.

His experience, leadership, and commitment to serving the residents of Aurora make him someone I’m pleased to support.

I have known Michael for over 8 years. He always attended many youth ice hockey events during my tenure as Aurora Minor Hockey President. Anytime he was asked to come out and support Aurora teams, he was there.

Through all of my dealings with Michael, I have found him to be professional, organized, and engaging. He is consistently well prepared and up to speed on the issues being discussed, and I have always appreciated the thoughtful and practical insight he brings to the conversation.

Michael takes the time to listen, understand the issues, and provide constructive direction. In my experience, he approaches his responsibilities with a genuine commitment to the community and a willingness to work collaboratively to find solutions.

I have appreciated my interactions with Michael and am pleased to support his continued service to the Town of Aurora.

I’m pleased to personally endorse Michael Thompson’s re-election campaign for Council. Michael is an experienced candidate, having served on Aurora Council for several years. He consistently has demonstrated his detailed and knowledgeable approach to managing the business of the Town as a team player. He continues to be a dedicated councillor with the best interest of the Town and Ward 4 foremost in all decisions.

Having known, and worked with Michael for over 20 years, I can undoubtedly say he possesses all the critical skills to successfully fulfill his councillor obligations. Michael is a true ‘problem solver’. He is able to view all situations through an analytical lens and present logical solutions in a professional and respectful manner.

To complement these skills, Michael has a passion for helping people and for being accountable for his responsibilities. This, coupled with his critical skillset, makes him the perfect candidate to continue to represent the residents as Councillor for Ward 4.

I moved to the Aurora area in 2019, relocating from the Maritimes. I left Aurora in 1964 when my parents decided the commute to Toronto was too far for my dad to go to work. I always respected the Town and its ability to stay unique and relevant between two larger cities of Richmond Hill & Newmarket. I chose Aurora to open my business and make Aurora my home, and believe a strong municipal government is required to meet both my personal and business needs.

When it comes to choosing a municipal government, I believe residents should look beyond campaign slogans and promises and look at the record. I met Michael 5 years ago upon opening my business here in Aurora. Throughout the last 5 plus years, he has always supported our business during many of the events since opening. When engaging about local issues or business matters, I have found Michael to be honest and forthright in his opinions and feedback.

Michael has served the residents of Aurora for 16 years, and for me, experience matters. Four consecutive terms on Council provide something that cannot be created during an election campaign: a proven record of dealing with the day-to-day responsibilities of municipal government, understanding how the Town operates, and making decisions that affect residents, taxpayers and the community as a whole.

For those reasons, I am pleased to endorse Michael Thompson for Ward 4 Councillor.

Experience matters. A proven record matters. And after 16 years of service, Michael Thompson has both.
