Ejaye McComb Appointed to Georgian Bluffs Council

Georgian Bluffs Council has appointed Ejaye McComb to fill the vacant Council seat left by former Councillor Ryan Thompson, who stepped down in September to become the Township’s new Chief Administrative Officer.

The appointment follows a public call for applications and a review process that included eligibility checks, optional presentations by candidates, and a closed session discussion by Council. The Township received 15 applications before the October 9 deadline, and the decision was confirmed at a special meeting held on October 15.

McComb has lived in Georgian Bluffs for 16 years and currently resides south of Kilsyth. He is an experienced leader in the technology sector, with a background in operations, product management, finance, and team leadership. He has held senior roles in both the private and public sectors. McComb also has a strong record of local volunteerism and currently serves as Vice Chair of the Canadian Mental Health Association Grey Bruce. He has also served on several community boards, including the Property Standards Committee of Georgian Bluffs, Tara Minor Soccer, and Chatsworth Minor Hockey, where he was president for four years.

“We’re excited to welcome Mr. McComb to Council,” said Mayor Sue Carleton. “On behalf of the Township, I’d like to thank everyone who applied and shared their interest in serving the community. Council was impressed by the calibre of candidates who came forward, and we look forward to working together with Mr. McComb over the next year.”

Certified applicants were listed publicly and invited to provide a brief presentation at the October 15 meeting. Following presentations, Council considered all applicants and voted to appoint McComb. He will be sworn in at a special Council meeting on November 5.
