Council

I am currently employed by Confederation College/Northwest Employment Works as an Employment Advisor working hand in hand with job seekers and employers to help them find the appropriate complement of man power for their organizations.

I am well connected and have built strong relationships with many different organizations and am humble by the endless opportunities this community bestows on us. Paired with my professional insight, I believe that I bring a fresh outlook and an open mindset to approaching important community challenges.

In the past, I have had the opportunity to serve as a Trustee for Superior Greenstone District School Board and as President of the Marathon & District Chamber of Commerce.

I have been and continue to be a strong advocate for the local business community and I am passionate about in youth migration and our ability to attract and retain young professionals to Marathon.

I am currently an English teacher at Marathon High School, but I also take great pride in the many community groups and projects I have been involved in. The work we do in small communities takes many forms and I know that many of us are coaches, board members, and volunteers of all sorts.

My belief in ‘quality of life' is what keeps my family in Marathon. We live in a community that is safe, contains great recreation opportunities, and allows us to live in a place where we know everyone. I am proud and happy to serve this community and look forward to our future together.

I am a first-time Councillor, but a lifelong resident of Marathon. Marathon was a great community to grow up in, and I believe we can make it even better going forward. As a child I always thought I was going to be a politician someday, politics has always fascinated me, how groups of people work together to solve problems and move things ahead.

I left Marathon when I was 17 years old to attend Cambrian College in Sudbury Ontario, there I completed my Mining Engineering Technologist Diploma. I have worked in the mining industry ever since and in 2010 became a professional when I earned my Certified Engineering Technologist designation in the Province of Ontario. I have worked at Hemlo Mine site for over 13 years in varying roles from engineering to operating. Mining in the Marathon area has a big future, and I believe my skillset will be a benefit during this period.

I am currently an Automation Operator for Barminco Mining Services Canada at the Barrick Hemlo Mine site. I get to use cutting edge technology, that allows me to operate equipment safely that is located over 1 km underground while I stay above surface. Workplace and mining safety is a big passion of mine, I push myself and my coworkers to always work safe at set standards or above.

My core beliefs are safety, sustainability, conservation and community. Community over competition is a slogan I recently heard and feel strongly about. For a community to be successful everyone needs to work together to grow and be better, not fight within itself. A rising tide raises all boats.

David Giuliano has been appointed to serve as a Councillor for the Municipality of Marathon. He will fill the vacant seat and support the work of Council until the next municipal election. We thank Councillor Giuliano for stepping into this role and contributing to the continued leadership of our community.
