In their own words, via the Town
Joyce has lived in West Grey all her life. She was born and raised on Lanzview Farm in the former Normanby Township. She graduated from JDSS and started her career in manufacturing and later joined Canada Post before she found her true passion with customer service in municipal government. Joyce worked for the former Normanby Township for 13 years in a variety of administrative roles. Following the West Grey amalgamation, she spent 22 years working for the public works department and retired in June 2022. Joyce is married to Jim and has lived in Ayton for 47 years, raised three children and now has seven grandchildren. She has been active as a volunteer on the Normanby recreation committee and the Ayton Busy Bees garden group. She has always been very active in community events. Joyce looks forward to her first term with West Grey council. She is excited to collaborate with fellow council members and constituents alike to ensure strategic and efficient spending, community-based interaction, and a safe community that has all the services and infrastructure in place to provide an enjoyable community to live.

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.
