About
Meet Dr. Lou D’Orazio
Ingersoll resident, husband to Paula for 30 years, and a candidate who believes local government should be responsive, transparent and focused on practical results.
Why I’m running
To bring people together and ask the difficult questions
I am running for Municipal Council because I believe local government should be responsive, transparent, and focused on practical results. I want to listen to residents, represent their concerns, and ensure municipal decisions reflect the needs of the entire community – not just a select few.
I am not running simply to hold a position. I am running to bring people together, ask difficult questions, and help turn community priorities into action. Our municipality deserves leadership that listens, collaborates, and follows through.
The commitment
As your Councillor, I will work to:
Protect what matters
Protect essential services while promoting responsible spending and fair taxation.
Grow thoughtfully
Support growth that respects our community’s character and prepares us for the future.
Fix the basics
Improve roads, infrastructure, public spaces and community safety.
Open up Town Hall
Strengthen communication and accountability between Council and residents.
Speak up for people
Advocate for families, seniors, local businesses and underserved residents.
Back small business
Small business is the core of Ingersoll – it creates jobs, builds relationships and gives our town its identity.
At home in Ingersoll
Paula, Zeus, and 30 years together
My wife Paula and I have been married 30 years. Zeus keeps us honest – and keeps us walking the neighbourhood, which is where you hear what people actually think about their town.
Those walks are part of why this campaign is built around downtown. Ingersoll is the kind of place where you run into people you know on the sidewalk. A town centre with patios, planters, lighting and life in the evening isn’t decoration – it’s where a community happens.
How I’ll work
Accessible, approachable, and willing to listen
I want to hear from residents, seniors, young families, local businesses, community organizations, property owners, youth – and especially from people who don’t normally attend Council meetings.
