From his non-profit and business experience, to serving as Ward 2 Councillor, Brian has spent his career putting our community first. Now he's bringing that same energy to the mayor's office with a detailed, action-ready plan to revitalize and shape the future of our town.
A Commitment to Respect, Professionalism, and Leadership in the 2026 East Gwillimbury Mayoral Campaign
This Positivity Pledge is a public commitment to conduct a principled, respectful, and solutions-focused campaign. Brian commits to never attacking another candidate personally, never using misinformation or fear-based messaging, and focusing on policy, not personal attacks.
A Pragmatic Roadmap for East Gwillimbury's Future
Not everything happens at once, but nothing meaningful happens without direction. Every commitment in Brian's plan comes with a taxpayer check showing how it gets paid for.
Why East Gwillimbury residents and community leaders are standing with Brian.
“Brian Johns is exactly who we need as East Gwillimbury's next Mayor. His business experience, his experience on Council, and his Positivity Pledge make Brian the experienced choice for change this October. He deeply cares about the community and actually listens to people. Brian has my full support.”
Joe Persechini

“Our decision reflects Brian's documented record on fire-service issues and his current platform's commitment to community infrastructure that keeps pace with East Gwillimbury's growth, including fire services. Our members are committed to serving this community professionally, safely, and with pride. We want to see that same focus on the long-term strength of emergency services reflected at the Council table.”
