My name is Bill Clark, and I am campaigning for a position of Councillor for the Town of Petrolia. I am 53 years old and was born at C.E.E. Hospital. I was raised in Enniskillen Township, just 5 miles outside of Petrolia. I attended L.C.C.V.I. and Lambton College. Even though I grew up outside of town, I have always considered Petrolia my hometown. In 1993, I married my wife, Karen. We bought our first home that year and moved to Petrolia where we raised our sons, Todd and Justin, and where we still live today.

I work for Linde Canada Inc. (formerly Praxair) in Sarnia. I started there in 2007 as a delivery driver and became the branch CSO in 2014. In 2019, I was promoted to my current position of Territory Manager.

I have been volunteering in Petrolia for over 33 years. My service to the community began back in 1989 when I proudly donned the uniform of the Petrolia Police as one of its very first Auxiliary Constables. I volunteered for more than 12 years with Petrolia Minor Hockey. I was a member of C.E.R.V. (Community Emergency Response Volunteers) for 10 years providing first aid at community events and fire scene support to the Petrolia North Enniskillen Fire Dept. In 2010, I began assisting the Community Services Advisory Committee with community events and in 2011 I joined the committee as a member, and I have continued with this committee ever since. On this committee, we have planned and executed community events and parades and advised council on the status and needs of the town’s parks and recreational facilities. In 2011, I joined the Oil Heritage District Community Centre Advisory Committee which was, 4 years later, amalgamated into the Community Services Advisory Committee. I also sat on the Committee of Adjustment and Property Standards from 2011 to 2017. In 2017, I was part of the Emergency Planning committee that updated the Town of Petrolia Emergency Plan, and I filled the role of Alternate CEMC that year as well.

As you can see, I have a strong commitment to my hometown and have been an active member of the community for many years. If elected, I will continue to serve the community to the best of my abilities and to show up to each meeting prepared to advocate on behalf of the residents of Petrolia.

Hello everyone. I have decided to run for Petrolia Town Council. I have sat on many different Committees of Council, learning the ins and outs of municipal politics. I have been a dedicated volunteer in Petrolia for the last 33+ years. I will continue to be dedicated to the residents of Petrolia as a member of council should you choose to elect me.
