Building A Better Oshawa!
Oshawa has been good to me. I have lived in this city for 30 years and raised my family here. As a Real Estate Broker I have been selling Oshawa as a great place to live, to work and to play for the last 21 years.


I believe that Oshawa is a great city. I also believe that Oshawa has the potential to be so much more. This city needs to be better managed. Oshawa needs councillors who remember that every dollar they spend is a dollar that was first earned by the taxpayers of this city and then entrusted to the city to spend wisely.


Please take some time to look at my website (www.RogerBouma.ca), follow my campaign here and on Twitter, and help spread the word that together we can build a better Oshawa!
