Michael Wood - 
Awards & Recognition

Since the beginning of his career, Michael has been involved in many different projects that have led to various awards and recognition. Whether it was his music industry career that saw him become a member of the National Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences for the Grammys and a member of the Canadian Academy Of Recording Arts And Science for the Junos, to being named the Alumni of Distinction for Business by Algonquin College in 2021, Michael has always been motivated to succeed. Michael has been the first to recognize how important his friends and family have been throughout his life and looks forward to helping them with any needs they may have at city hall.
