The connections Mayor Ted Comiskey has to Ingersoll date back much farther than the beginning of his time of holding office. The Comiskey family came to Canada from Ireland in 1835, settling in the town now known as Ingersoll, Ontario. Growing up in Ingersoll, Ted attended Sacred Heart School and Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute, going on to attend and graduate Western University. Ted began his business career working in regional businesses where he has amassed a combined 41 years in business and industrial management experience. First elected Mayor in 2010, Mayor Comiskey is the Oxford County Deputy Warden and in his third term as Ingersoll’s Mayor. He is also proudly the Chair of the “Demand the Right” Campaign, the aim of which is to allow municipalities to be given the right to say Yes or No to proposed landfill sites within 3.5kn of their borders, which successfully led to the introduction of Provincial Bill 197. In his personal life, Mayor Comiskey has been married to his wife Sherry for 33 years and they share two children. Sherry is an educator with 33 years of experience, she currently teaches grade school at St. Jude’s Elementary in Ingersoll. Their oldest Christopher has a Master’s in Education and works for the Cambridge Separate School Board, Christopher made Ted and Sherry grandparents last year with the arrival of baby Norah. Their youngest Edward achieved a Degree in Science at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay and is now a paramedic in the Canadian Armed Forces.
