Sean Hunt for Mayor — Middlesex Centre

Meet Sean

Rooted here, ready to get to work

My family and I have called Middlesex Centre home for more than twelve years. Like you, we've watched this community grow and change: new families putting down roots in our villages, farms passing through generations on the concessions, and the same rural character that made us all choose to live here. Every village, every hamlet, every farm: the mayor represents all of us.

I've spent my career as an IT software team lead, organizing teams, delivering complex projects, and modernizing systems so they work better and cost less. That's exactly the skill set our growing municipality needs at the council table.

From 2018 to 2022 I served our community as a Thames Valley District School Board trustee, where I pushed for accountability and asked the hard questions about spending and oversight, because that's what taxpayers deserve from the people they elect. I'll bring that same scrutiny to every dollar Middlesex Centre and the County spend.

Being mayor is really two jobs: leading our council here at home, and representing Middlesex Centre at Middlesex County Council. I'm ready to give both my full attention. Every meeting. Every time.

Five wards. One community.

Middlesex Centre elects its mayor at large: every ward, every village, every concession votes, and the mayor answers to all of them.

The Plan

My priorities

Recreation & community facilities

Our arenas, parks and halls are where kids grow up and neighbours meet. As mayor, I will work with council to keep them in top shape and add rec space as our community grows.

Support for every generation

Young families are choosing Middlesex Centre, and more neighbours are choosing to stay right here in retirement. As mayor, I will lead council in pushing for child care spaces, school-ready sites in new neighbourhoods, better ways to get around, and housing options that let seniors stay in the community they built.

Fair water & wastewater rates

New here? Your water bill may have surprised you. We have an excellent system, built for the growth that's coming, but fewer of us share its cost for now. Every new home and business helps split that bill, and as mayor I will lead the work of sharing costs fairly.

Growth should pay for growth

It's an old saying around here because it's true. New neighbourhoods should bring the roads, water and rec space they need with them. The province has funding and programs for housing, and as mayor I will lead council in putting Middlesex Centre first in line, while respecting our farms and rural character.

Rural roads, drainage & broadband

If you live on a concession, you deserve the same attention as a new subdivision. Many rural road, drainage and internet decisions are made at Middlesex County Council, and your mayor sits at that table. I will be there every time, working for safe roads, drainage that protects our farms as the climate changes, and internet you can count on.

Modern, efficient government

I've spent my career making technology work for people. As mayor, I will work with council and staff to use modern tools, including AI where it truly helps, and make it even easier to get answers, book the arena, or have your say from home.

Two hats, one job

One more thing ties all of this together. In Middlesex Centre, the mayor has two jobs. One is leading our own council here at home. The other is representing all of us at Middlesex County Council, where decisions about paramedic service, libraries, economic development and many of our roads are made.

That seat only works if someone shows up prepared, every time. I'm ready to be a full-time voice for Middlesex Centre at both tables. Every meeting. Every time.

From the campaign

August 31, 2026

I'm running for Mayor of Middlesex Centre

Twelve years ago, our family chose to build our life here, and like so many of you, we've watched this community grow and change. Every village, hamlet and concession, from Ilderton to Delaware, Coldstream to Bryanston: this is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Middlesex County, and the decisions made over the next four years will shape it for decades.

I believe Middlesex Centre needs fresh energy at the council table and a strong, full-time voice at County Council, where decisions about our roads, paramedic services and economic future get made.

Over the coming weeks I'll be at community events, online, and at your door. I want to hear what matters to you. Let's build the next chapter of Middlesex Centre together.

How to Vote

Voting is online or by phone, October 19–26

No lines, no polling station. Middlesex Centre votes by internet and telephone. Three things to do:

1

Watch your mailbox

In mid-October, the municipality mails every elector a Voter Information Letter with your personal PIN. It can look like junk mail. It isn't. Don't recycle it.

2

Make sure you're on the list

Confirm or update your voter registration at registertovoteon.ca, or contact the Clerk's office: clerk@middlesexcentre.ca · 519-666-0190 ext. 5225.

3

Vote early in the window

From Monday, October 19 at 9 a.m. until Monday, October 26 at 8 p.m., use your PIN to vote online or by phone; it takes two minutes. Don't wait for the last day.

Need a hand, or a replacement letter? The municipality runs a Voter Help Centre during the voting window; the details arrive with your Voter Information Letter, or ask the Clerk's office. Official election information: middlesexcentre.ca
