Birtch made the remarks in his opening comments at a mayoral question-and-answer session hosted by the Unifor union’s Local 636. The event focused on issues such as the environment, Woodstock’s homelessness problem, pharmacare and capital projects.It was February when The London Free Press uncovered the charges against Birtch, then 46. London police had charged him with assault, sexual assault and sexual assault with choking following three alleged incidents involving the same woman.
In August, Birtch announced his decision to seek a third term as mayor, surprising many observers in Woodstock and across Southwestern Ontario. He took a few political swipes during the event at Jerry Acchione, a two-term city councillor, who is also running for Woodstock’s top political job. Other candidates are David Hilderley, Anthony Scalisi and Peter Croves.Article content
