Nikole Norris running for Village of Stirling council

Submitted

My name is Nikole Norris and I have called Stirling my home for a little over three years now. I am a mom to an 11-year-old boy and most of you may know me as “the girl at Streetside Market.”

What brought me to Stirling you may ask, well let me tell you. I was looking for a change, a slowdown, a rewind lifestyle way of life. My son and I drove around one day trying to find some where we could call “home.” We finally drove through Stirling and were greeted with waves, smiles and an immediate sense of “small town.”

This exact feeling is what made me fall in love with this village. The help your neighbour’s, the place where kids can be kids, the feeling of belonging, and knowing I live in a community not just a house on another row of streets.
