Mayor Cleveland and Council

Photo of Mayor Lucas Cleveland

Mayor Cleveland, 48th Mayor of The Town of Cobourg

Mayor Cleveland moved to Cobourg six years ago in search of a community to call home. He built and operated a first-of-its-kind 'zero food waste' greengrocer in the downtown area.  Following three years of exponential growth, he set a goal to serve the community in a new capacity.

Mayor Cleveland’s prior business experiences include creating a restaurant consulting business to reduce waste and realize operational efficiencies, enabling restaurants to meet their strategic goals.

​Cleveland spent more than 10 years in the oil and gas industry working in a senior position with Weatherford International where he led teams implementing and executing multi-million-dollar drilling operation sites. 

Mayor Cleveland brings his business experience to Municipal Government with the aim to make Cobourg a better place to work, live and play.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Political Science and Philosophy.
