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 detailed, action-ready plan informed by four years of experience on Council and a vision for our future.
Fiscal discipline, transparent budgeting, and a municipal government that earns the trust of every taxpayer.
Housing done right, a thriving agricultural sector, and business-friendly policies that will create more jobs.
A hospital, high schools, fire services, recreation, seniors' supports, and safe streets — right here in East Gwillimbury.
Village core revitalization, green space protection, and the community partnerships that make East Gwillimbury home.
Why East Gwillimbury residents and community leaders are standing with Brian.
“East Gwillimbury deserves a Council and a Mayor who are accountable to the people. As someone who has been turned away from Council meetings and told I am not allowed to share my perspective, I am proud to support Brian and his plan for a lobbyist registry, full council expense transparency, and his commitment to restoring public deputations.”
Geoff Brown
East Gwillimbury Resident
“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.”
