Episode 8.09 - Mayor Burghardt-Jesson - Township of Lucan Biddulph

Cathy Burghardt-Jesson has been Mayor of Lucan Biddulph since 2014.  She was first elected to local council in 2010.  In her role as Mayor, she also sits on Middlesex County Council and has served as Warden of the County for three (3) terms (2020, 2021 & 2023).  Cathy sits on a number of municipal committees both in Lucan and Middlesex.  She is a Board member for the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service and also sits as a Board Member for the Ontario Good Roads Association.  While Cathy is incredibly proud of the what she has been able to achieve and be involved with as a municipal leader, a couple of highlights for her is the successful Kraft Hockeyville campaign she chaired in Lucan in 2018. She is currently involved with Middlesex County and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in a project  working with municipalities in Cambodia to champion and encourage women in leadership there. Personally, Cathy and her husband Kirk are retired small business owners. 

They are parents to four (4) adult men.  Cathy enjoys yoga, swimming, crafting cooking and baking during her down time.
