Diane Therrien is a Canadian municipal politician who is the mayor of Peterborough, Ontario, a position she won in the 2018 Ontario municipal elections.[1] Therrien is the third woman to be mayor of the city. Prior to her mayoral election, she was a city councillor for Ward 3 (Town Ward) from 2014 to 2018.[2]
Ms. Therrien lost[3] her chance as a councellor in 2013 using 'The Parkway is an antiquated idea, and should not be built.' as one of her arguments[4] After this failure, she regrouped and has used her current position to defeat the parkway using back room deals. The means is by using the guise of affordable housing to renovate 2 houses[5] which would make the parkway impossible. The ongoing refusal to enforce local by-laws has caused a growing group of citizens to be outraged and call for her to reverse her direction and protect the tax base.
