Ian McNaughton owns three Home Hardware stores
Gravenhurst businessman Ian McNaughton is seeking the Conservative nomination ahead of a federal byelection in Parry Sound-Muskoka expected sometime next year.
McNaughton and his wife Tara own three Home Hardware stores in Gravenhurst, Parry Sound and Bancroft. He also serves on the Home Hardware Stores board of directors, and has worked in the technology sector, served with the Gravenhurst Fire Department and operates a family farm. He and Tara have four children.
McNaughton says his business and community experience have prepared him for public service. His top priorities include tackling the rising cost of living, housing affordability, healthcare access and the challenges facing rural communities.
He is the first to publicly declare his intention to seek the Conservative nomination. The byelection follows current MP Scott Aitchison’s planned departure to become Muskoka’s next District Chair.
Former Muskoka Parry Sound MP Tony Clement is also reported to be considering a run to replace Scott Aitchison.
