Meet Eric

I’m Eric Savoie, and I’m proud to call Saint John home. This city shaped who I am - and now I’m running for City Council because I believe it’s time to give back in a big way.

I’ve spent my career working with government, business, and community organizations to tackle challenges like poverty, affordable housing, and rebuilding after crisis; all with one goal:
building stronger communities and brighter futures.

I came home to Saint John because I believe in its potential. We’re a small city with a big heart, and when we work together, we can build safe, welcoming, opportunity‑rich neighbourhoods.

I’m not a career politician - I’m a neighbour, a volunteer, and someone who cares deeply about this city. I serve with organizations like the Business Community Anti‑Poverty Initiative and the Saint John Fundy Pride Society because inclusion matters - and so does your voice.

This election is about people, not politics. It’s about trust, listening, and building a city where everyone feels they belong and afford to live. If that’s the future you want, I’d be honoured to earn your support.
