Shaun Collier is a Canadian politician and former accountant who has served as the 10th and current mayor of Ajax since 2018. As mayor, he also serves on Durham Regional Council.
Education
Collier has a chartered director degree from McMaster University.[2] Prior to being elected, Collier served in the Canadian Armed Forces[3] and was an accountant.[4]
Career
Collier was first elected to Ajax Town Council in 2003 in ward 1, defeating Ralph Golberg by just 47 votes.[5] Collier was elected to Durham Regional Council in 2010, representing both Ajax wards 1 and 2. He was first elected as mayor in the 2018 municipal election on a platform of "economic development". One of the main issues of the campaign was the proposed enlargement of the Greenbelt which Collier supported, rather than building new homes.[6] He won the election with 43% of the vote, defeating his nearest rival, fellow regional councillor Colleen Jordan, who won 33%. He replaced long-time mayor Steve Parish who did not seek re-election.[7]
While in office as mayor, Collier was fined $13,000 by the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada for allegedly forging financial documents while he was a mutual funds broker. Collier was subsequently suspended from holding a supervisory role in finance.[8]
Collier endorsed Leslyn Lewis's candidacy in the 2020 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election.[9]
