I am a lifelong resident of Corner Brook, a proud small business owner, and a passionate advocate for my community. For over four decades, I have given back through tireless volunteer work, local initiatives, and grassroots support, not for recognition, but because I believe in lifting others.

As the owner of Fox’s General Store, I maybe become a familiar face in the city, not just behind the counter, but out in the community, working to make a difference. My involvement with organizations like Vine Place Community Centre and St. John Ambulance reflects a lifelong commitment to service, compassion, and connection.

From coat drives to youth mentorship, I have always believed that strong communities are built through relationships, not just policies. Now, I’m stepping forward to run for City Council, ready to carry that same heart, work ethic, and people-first approach into city decision-making.

I’m not running for power or prestige. I’m running to be a voice for real people, to represent those who want a better Corner Brook, and to help shape a future where no one is left behind.
Payne, Michelle
