Chris Aucoin is a local resident, small business owner, and community focused candidate running to help protect what makes Clarington special while supporting responsible growth for the future.
For 25 years, Chris worked in security management at a major Toronto hospital. That experience shaped how he approaches responsibility, accountability, and decision making in high pressure environments.
Chris has lived in Clarington for over 12 years with his fiancee, Jill, and is the father of three daughters. He understands that residents need safe neighbourhoods, strong local services, responsible growth, and a Council that listens.
For the past 8 years, Chris has owned and operated Brewer's Pantry in downtown Bowmanville. That experience has given him a direct view into the challenges facing entrepreneurs and main street businesses in Clarington.
Chris understands the balance families and local businesses are looking for: keeping the community's character while making smart decisions about growth, services, and the future.
Through Brewer's Pantry, Chris has built relationships with business owners, local artists, community builders, and families across Clarington. Those connections are the reason he would be honoured to represent Ward 2 on Council.
