Council

Mayor Isbester has lived in Greater Napanee for almost 50 years, coming here by way of Picton, coming for a short term job, meeting husband Mac...and as they say, the rest is history! Mac and Marg have raised two sons, Andrew and David, who, with their daughter-in-laws and five grandchildren, live and work in Greater Napanee as well. Before retirement in 2009, Mac (who was a teacher) and Marg ran a successful paint and wallpaper business in the Business Park for 33 years. 

Mayor Isbester enjoys boating, golfing, gardening and watching all or any sports...with a soft spot for her Toronto Maple Leafs. Marg has been, and still is, very involved in many committees within the municipality, enjoys volunteering at events and being active in the community.

Councillor Johnson moved to Greater Napanee 12 years ago because she loves small town life, and after raising two girls in South Porcupine (8 hours north of Greater Napanee) with her husband of 38 years, still wanted to be close when the girls moved to Ottawa. She spent many years volunteering and fundraising for playgrounds and community events, and enjoys the company of her expanded family and grandchildren. Over the past nine years she has participated in committees and grown her local business. Now when traveling, Councillor Johnson and her husband prefer back roads, an undefined destination and the joy of discovering what's around the corner.
