Dear editor:

For a few weeks now, there has been someone impersonating me on Facebook, using a fake page and group which claim I am planning to run for town council.

Without getting into much detail because this situation is currently under police investigation, I just wanted to reach out and inform the citizens of Niagara-on-the-Lake that this is not the case and to be careful of the imposter.

While I have personally blocked the fake account, someone informed me Tuesday morning that whoever is behind it is attempting to fraud members of the community by asking for money for my supposed “campaign.”

Make no mistake, “Jenn Jones 4 All” — both the page and the similarly named group — are not run by me. I am not currently living in Niagara-on-the-Lake, nor am I planning to run for council at any time in the foreseeable future.

I love this community. I love this town. I grew up on King Street. I went to Parliament Oak. My grandfather was the postmaster. My great grandmother was the first female member of council. It will always be a part of me and maybe one day I’ll move back again, but right now it’s simply the home of my mother — my children’s Nana — and that’s where my connection ends.

When and if the time comes where I move back and choose to run for council, you can rest assured The Lake Report will be the first to know.
