In their own words, via the Town
Bobbi Wright was born and raised in Brighton and is proud to call Brighton her hometown. Bobbi is a children’s author and entrepreneur who owns The Birdhouse Nature Store in the downtown area. She is very much looking forward to listening and learning to assist Brighton in the years ahead. Bobbi lives with her retired husband, Andrew Reid, her daughters and two goofy golden retrievers. She loves living in Brighton being surrounded by the nature that Northumberland County and Presqu’ile Provincial Park offer.

This council rarely calls recorded votes, so individual positions are only on the record where one was demanded. Under the Municipal Act that is the council's choice, not an omission in this record.

What this does not measure
- Motions moved is not a measure of effectiveness. Who moves a motion is often a seat convention or a committee role, and the member who does the work on a file is frequently not the one who reads it out.
- Nobody is ranked against anybody. These figures are counted against this member's own meetings and are never totalled or compared.
- Absence is not explained. The minutes record who was not there and almost never why. Illness, a declared conflict and a family emergency all appear the same way.
- What was said is not here. This record reads the minutes, which record decisions, not debate.
