Steve Schmitt

Steve’s roots in St. George run deep. A lifelong resident and local entrepreneur, he has spent his working life in the trades and on the land: nearly 30 years as an electrician running Electra Modern Controls, landscaping through Nature’s Way Gardens, and looking after the grounds as property manager for the Tim Hortons camps. Today he still works part time at Walter’s Greenhouses & Garden Centre, looking after their maintenance needs. His work has taken him onto farms, into homes, and through businesses all over this community, where he built a reputation for finishing the job, keeping his word, and showing up when it mattered.

Home is the Schmitt homestead in St. George, where Steve and his wife Holly tend the land and grow their own vegetables, and where their seven grandchildren keep things lively. When he isn’t at a council or community meeting, you’ll likely find him in the garden or in the workshop on a carpentry project.

Steve has spent his life giving back through municipal service, community organizations, local journalism, and volunteer efforts. That experience has given him a strong understanding of our communities, their history, and the challenges we face. At Council, Steve listens carefully, asks tough questions, and works to find practical solutions that reflect the long-term interests of Ward 1. He is a steady and respected advocate who will continue to work hard for our community and for you.
