ENDORSEMENTS & COMMUNITY SUPPORT

 

Fred Rankel, Aurora Business Owner

I have known Roy Cohen for a long time. He is a truly exceptional individual of great integrity and honour. In addition to being a very successful businessman, Roy is deeply involved within the Aurora community he calls home. Roy is a self made man, who has worked extremely hard his entire life to make every business venture and community initiative a success. He is truly a success in the real definition of the word. Roy understands what the Town needs and understands how to deliver it. With his extensive business experience and notable community involvement you could not choose a more capable individual to represent you on Council.

 

Spencer Kanen, President, AYSC

As the president of the Aurora Youth Soccer Club, I do not have to look far for a person who embodies the spirit of Aurora stronger than Roy Cohen. Serving beside Roy the past four years on the AYSC board has given me much insight into his honourable character and his innate ability to build consensus in order to benefit all involved. Roy is a devout family man and very successful business man and a long term community volunteer. He dedicates countless hours to the youth of Aurora including mentoring and coaching multiple teams in the soccer and hockey communities. With our members at the AYSC my priority, Roy will help deliver a great vision and oversight to everything Aurora and will have the youth of Aurora in his heart when it comes to municipal issues such as sport and recreation facilities our community so desperately needs. It is for all of these reasons that I wholeheartedly support Roy Cohen's candidacy for election to Town of Aurora Council and encourage you to include Roy on your ballot on Election Day.

 

Bill Kizovski, Community Volunteer, Business Owner, Aurora Resident

I have known Roy for a very long time and I still can't think of another person that embodies the spirit of our town more than Roy Cohen. Roy has selflessly given his time to our community for well over 2 decades and still continues to dedicate his time and energy helping young people reach their potential through their involvement in sport and recreation. His extensive business experience has equipped Roy to readily take charge of considerable business projects and complex industry issues utilizing his unique ability to motivate people towards a solution while building strong consensus. From his hands-on experience running a bakery business at 18 years of age to successfully leading real estate development ventures and advancing environmental business projects, Roy has proven himself to be a leader who not only understands what needs to be done but also knows how to get things done. I would be greatly honoured and extremely proud to have Roy represent us on the 2014 Aurora Town Council.

 

Dean Sherman, Aurora Resident

No one cares more about Aurora than Roy Cohen. He has singlehandedly and meaningfully connected with more Aurora residents than anyone I know. His wealth of experience in a variety of fields make him ideally suited to represent your interests on Aurora's council. More than any other qualification, though - he cares. Roy Cohen cares about doing what's right, he cares about people and he cares about Aurora.

 

Brian Casey, Aurora Community Volunteer

I have known Roy for about 5 years, and have seen his great work within the community. Roy brings intelligence, hard work and most importantly a great passion to issues that matter to him. Roy's background in the private sector and the Town provides a rare combination which results in Roy knowing how to get things done.

 

Vigilio Persico, Aurora Resident

I have known Roy Cohen for the past 10 years. His level of dedication and selflessness is unparallel. His devotion to the children in Aurora by coaching multiple teams in multiple sports is an inspiration. Roy believes in leading by example and provides a positive role model. With his experiences and success in all aspects of his life, Roy Cohen is the most qualifed candidate to represent the interests of the people of Aurora.

 

Dave Douglas, Marsh Harbour, Aurora Resident

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Roy "Coach" Cohen over the past few years through the AYSC as he was my son's soccer coach. We are most impressed with Roy's dedication and commitment towards mentoring today's youth and providing many important life skills through the game of soccer and team building. Roy is truly a team player who will surely enhance cohesion and a team building within the Town of Aurora.

 

Chris MacEachern, Aurora Resident

Roy Cohen is a man of dedication, intelligence, and empathy. I value his leadership, particularly when it comes to arriving at solutions that serve to the common good. Put simply, I believe in what Roy Cohen can, and will do, for the Town of Aurora.

 

Annette Lazzer, Aurora Resident

I have known Roy Cohen for many years through my involvement in youth soccer. Roy has been an excellent role model and mentor to the many children who have been fortunate enough to have him lead their teams. His selfless dedication and commitment to local events, charities and organizations has made Aurora a better place to live. Given Roy's passion for Aurora, his incredible work ethic and desire to succeed at what he sets out to do, I truly believe Roy will be a terrific Councillor.
