What People Are Saying About Laura
Hear from community members, colleagues, and neighbours.
Based on our long experience working together, I know Laura would bring integrity, dedication, and a strong sense of responsibility to Whitby Town Council. She has always shown up for her communities, and I have no doubt she would do the same for the town she loves.”
Patrick Greco, Shibley Righton LLP
“I’ve known Laura McCarney as a neighbour and close friend for over 15 years. She has amazed me at how well she can balance her busy life of being a mother of three children, a supportive wife to her husband, and her ever growing ambitions in her career. Laura and her husband, Paul, have long-standing roots in this community. As Paul grew up here and they actually moved back to the very street he grew up on, to raise their family. They have volunteered for their children’s sports teams as coaches and managers. So, I know that the Whitby community is very important to them and their family. I have seen how, if you want to get something done, you give it to a busy person and Laura McCarney is a busy person. Behind the scenes, I have seen her deal with residents in properties that she manages with patience and active listening to help them with property issues and concerns, while keeping the company’s interests in mind. I live in Centre Ward 3, and I think she would make an excellent candidate.”
Sandra Hargrave, Centre Ward Resident
“I had the opportunity to work closely with Laura while serving on the Board of Directors of a newly established condominium community, where she served as our Property Manager.
From the early stages of the condominium’s operations, Laura helped us navigate the complexities that come with establishing a new community – from building and responsibly managing our reserve fund, to working through the municipal handover and establishing the processes for utility collection and other essential operations.
During that same period, we also faced a number of significant and challenging matters, including major insurance claims, litigation, a fire, and a substantial construction claim involving the building’s parking garage.
What consistently impressed me about Laura was her ability to navigate both the day-to-day responsibilities and the much more difficult issues with professionalism, sound judgment and persistence. She was responsive, pragmatic and willing to tackle complicated problems head-on, while never losing sight of the residents and community she was representing.
Having seen Laura’s leadership firsthand – from helping establish the foundations of a new community to navigating situations where the stakes were exceptionally high – I believe she would bring that same commitment, diligence and practical approach to serving the residents of Whitby.”
Jonathan Marulanda, Former Condominium Director

Their outstanding work ethic is evident in everything they undertake. They consistently lead by example, follow through on commitments, and approach challenges with determination and professionalism. More importantly, they possess a strong sense of responsibility and a deep commitment to serving others.
Their leadership inspires confidence, brings people together, and turns ideas into meaningful action. I have no doubt that they will bring the same passion, vision, and unwavering dedication to the Town Council, making a lasting and positive impact on the community they serve.”
