Tanya Vrebosch was born in Corbeil and has lived in North Bay since she was 18. She’s always had strong roots in the city, graduating from St. Joseph Scollard Hall and then Canadore College after that.
Tanya’s been a hard worker since she was young, working every job from A-Z (literally, she’s been everything from an Administrative Assistant to a Zamboni Driver). Her drive to help others and to give back has led her to significant involvement with LIPI, the Santa Fund, and her career as a Case Manager at Ontario Works
Tanya has served on city council for the last 11 years where she’s a proven fighter and known for getting things done. The only thing that pulled her away from council for any length of time was childbirth, and even that didn’t keep her away for long.
She has two beautiful young children in five-year old Sydney and 7-month old Danielle (Dani), and is proud to raise them with her better half, Dan Nogueira.
Her parents are Bill and Gisele Vrebosch. She has 3 siblings, Lisa, Louise and Billy.
When Tanya is making decisions on council, she understands the importance of making sure North Bay is a great place for families and that she’s inspired to make sure her children can grow up proud of their community.
Giving broad promises that she can’t be held accountable to isn’t her way – it’s not the way her parents raised her and it’s not the way she carries herself through life.
Tanya has 11 years of municipal experience with the City of North Bay. She was elected 11th out of 17 candidates in the 2006 Municipal Election. In February of 2008, she was sworn in as the youngest member of North Bay City Council (at the time).
She is the current Chair of Engineering, Public Works and Environmental Services. She sits on the Waste Resource Liaison Committee, Cassellhome, Heritage North Bay, and the Nipissing Parry Sound District Health Unit.
Tanya has served as Chair of Engineering and Public Works, Deputy Mayor, Budget Chief, and Chair of General Government at different points throughout her time on City Council.
She has previously sat on the General Government Committee, Board Member with the Capitol Centre, the North Bay Public Library, the Planning Advisory Committee, the Concerned Citizens of North Bay and Area Committee and the North Bay police Services Board.
Her previous work experience in economic development, coupled with her education in recreation and leisure services along with her current experience with social services gives her a well-rounded approach when making her decisions.
Tanya has been a strong advocate for infrastructure investments and maintenance. “The investments that we’ve continued to make over the years have saved us money. We are investing in fixing it properly and maintaining it rather than putting a band-aid on it or waiting until it’s past the point of repair and needs full reconstruction.”
The only promises Tanya will make are to work hard, do her homework, be honest and vote her conscience.
