New Hospital
& Long-Term Care

Through strong provincial partnerships, we secured over $400 million to build a state-of-the-art hospital and 192-bed long-term care home. This new healthcare campus ensures high-quality, local medical care remains right here in Uxbridge for generations to come.

Roads &
Infrastructure

Safe, reliable roads are essential to keeping our community moving. Since 2018, we have paved over 60 kilometres of roads across Uxbridge, including converting 20 kilometres from gravel to asphalt. We remain committed to maintaining and upgrading the core infrastructure our residents rely on every day.

Uxbridge Urban
Provincial Park

What started as a local idea is now Ontario’s first Urban Provincial Park. By securing $18 million in provincial funding, we have unlocked over 1,350 acres of protected land, preserving our natural heritage and reinforcing Uxbridge as the Trail Capital of Canada for generations to come.

An Age-Friendly Community

Uxbridge is officially recognized as an Age-Friendly Community. By investing in accessible paved trails, year-round washrooms, safer pedestrian crossings, and a vibrant Seniors Centre, we are creating opportunities for residents to comfortably age in place. Our role is simple: support our community, remove barriers, and let people lead.

Open & Accessible Government

Transparent leadership builds community trust. Under my leadership, all Council meetings are now livestreamed and archived online, making agendas, minutes, and recordings easy to access. We are making it simple for every resident to stay informed, follow key decisions, and engage on their own schedule.

Downtown
Revitalization

Downtown Uxbridge is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. By driving the Brock Street project forward, we are delivering more than infrastructure. We are expanding rental housing, supporting local businesses, and building a strong, vibrant future for our community.

Aquatic Centre & New Animal Shelter

We are building modern facilities to serve our growing township for generations to come. This includes our new 6,400-square-foot Animal Shelter and our upcoming Aquatic Centre and Gymnasium opening in 2027. These investments ensure residents of all ages have quality spaces to connect and stay active.

Active Transportation
& Pedestrian Safety

Since becoming Mayor, we have made major investments in new sidewalks, paved trails, and safe crossings connecting our parks, neighbourhoods, and hamlets. By securing federal and provincial grants to fund these upgrades, we are keeping our community active, safe, and accessible while stretching your local tax dollars further.

High-Speed
Internet

Reliable high-speed internet is essential for our families and businesses. Through our leadership, Durham Region established Durham OneNet to secure outside funding and build a regional fibre backbone. Today, fibre service is reaching Coppins Corners, Goodwood, Leaskdale, Udora, Sandford, and rural Uxbridge, keeping our entire community connected for the future.

Partnerships
That Deliver

Getting big things done for Uxbridge requires strong teamwork. By collaborating with all levels of government and key community partners, we have secured critical grant funding for major local projects. This approach ensures our township continues to thrive while stretching your local tax dollars as far as possible.

Meet Dave

about Dave

I was born and raised in Uxbridge, with deep family roots in our farming community. During my formative years, my family operated the Udora General Store, where I saw firsthand the power of community and strong local partnerships. That experience continues to shape how I lead today.

Before public service, I spent 18 years in engineering, sales, and business. That experience shapes how I approach leadership, focusing on practical solutions, strong financial management, and decisions grounded in data.

I am proud of Uxbridge’s heritage and the quality of life we offer today. Our success depends on strong relationships with local businesses, community organizations, and other levels of government. By working together with Durham Region and the Province, we are able to deliver results, secure funding, and move key priorities forward.

My focus is simple. Respect our past, understand today, and build a strong, sustainable future for Uxbridge.

When Dave Barton first ran for mayor, I saw someone who was open-minded, easy to connect with, and genuinely interested in how we could make Uxbridge better. Now, after seeing him serve as our mayor, he has demonstrated that he listens to residents’ concerns and ideas and works to turn them into action. As a fellow Board member with him at Precious Minds charity, I’ve seen Dave’s commitment to supporting the diverse needs of our community firsthand. He also works collaboratively with

residents, organizations, and different levels of government to move important projects forward. Under Dave’s leadership, Uxbridge has acquired additional parkland to expand its trail system, addressed the Brock Street culvert repairs, kick-started downtown revitalization, advanced the hospital rebuild, and secured investment for a much-needed new aquatic centre. Dave is action-oriented and gets results. He cares deeply about Uxbridge and is committed to making it an even better place to live. I trusted him to lead Uxbridge the first time, and his record has only strengthened that trust. I’m happy to endorse Dave Barton for re-election as Mayor of Uxbridge.

For years,  Uxbridge has needed someone at Town Hall who truly understood the importance of our downtown. 

Dave Barton has been a mayor who fights for our downtown and, more importantly, gets investment happening. From major infrastructure improvements to the new Town Square, attracting and bringing more people to live, shop and spend time downtown, we are finally seeing real momentum. I’m proud to support Dave and want to see that work continue.

"Dave and I have been close friends since we were in grade 4. We had summer jobs on farms in the surrounding area and he was the best man at my wedding. Dave is loyal, giving, honest and one of the people I go to when I need to vet business ideas. There is no one I trust more to build our future while preserving our legacy.  The legacy of the place we have always called home. When you get your ballot this fall, vote Dave Barton for Mayor."

"I’m proud to endorse Dave Barton for re-election as Mayor of Uxbridge.

I have the pleasure of co-chairing the Uxbridge Hospital Redevelopment Campaign alongside Dave, and through that work I’ve seen firsthand his commitment to our town, the strength of his leadership, and his ability to build strong relationships across all levels of government.

As a lifelong Uxbridge resident, Dave’s commitment to our town is evident in what he has helped accomplish. From the new hospital and swimming pool to the revitalization of our downtown, these projects reflect strong leadership and a proven ability to get things done. Dave doesn’t just talk about moving Uxbridge forward—he helps make it happen.

Strong, experienced and committed leadership matters, and Dave has demonstrated that leadership through action.

I’m proud to support Dave Barton for Mayor."
