Dan Gale for Wasaga Beach
Steady, common-sense representation for the town we call home. Your streets. Your beach. Your town hall.
Why I'm running
Wasaga deserves a voice who listens first.
Our town is changing fast. Tourism, development, housing pressure: the decisions made at council over the next four years will shape Wasaga for decades. I'm running because those decisions should be made with the people who live here, not behind closed doors.
I've called Wasaga home for 14 years. I've watched this community step up for each other when it counted. We deserve representation that does the same: picks up the phone, reads the report, and tells you the truth when the easy answer doesn't match reality.

Wasaga Beach resident · Candidate for Town Council
Meet Dan
Your neighbour. Your candidate.
I've called Wasaga Beach home for 14 years. I've built roots here, and seen first-hand what our town needs to thrive. I'm running for council because Wasaga Beach deserves representation that listens more than it talks, and gets things done without the drama.
Approachable, practical, and proudly local. I'm ready to put residents first, and build a community together.
"I'll answer your call. I'll read your email. And I'll show up to the meetings."
Our town
The place we're fighting for.
14 km of beach. 25,000 year-round residents. 100,000 in peak season. One town council deciding what kind of place Wasaga becomes next.
