Jan Liggett’s life’s work has been devoted to making Cambridge a safe, healthy, and prosperous community. She has dedicated her time and energy to raising a family here, to volunteering across a wide spectrum of organizations and causes, and to running a successful nationally known business.
Jan has been especially immersed for the past four years as Mayor of Cambridge and as a Councillor at the Region of Waterloo representing the city’s interests. Her mayoralty was founded on her experience in serving the citizens of Cambridge as an elected Councillor for eight years. During this time, Jan worked to hone her knowledge and skills, to meet with other regional, provincial and national elected officials and government personnel, and to study the complexities and commitments of the role of Mayor. She was well informed and ready to shoulder the challenges of elected office then, and is even more prepared to continue leading for the next term as Mayor of Cambridge.
