About Rocco
I chose Aurora for my family
Rocco Morsillo has proudly called Aurora home since 2003, when he and his wife, Tina, chose the town for its close-knit community and small-town character. They are raising their two sons here, where family, sports, and community involvement are at the heart of their daily lives.
Rocco is committed to being a strong, thoughtful voice on Council, focused on making decisions that keep Aurora a great place to raise a family, both today and for generations to come. He understands that the choices we make now will shape our community’s future, and he is ready to work hard to ensure that future is a positive one for everyone.
What people are saying
about Rocco’s character and long standing commitment to the residents
Rocco Morsillo is involved in Aurora. Together, he and I serve on the town’s Heritage Advisory Committee, sit on the Olde Aurora Ratepayers Association Executive, and lawn bowl at McMahon Park. He is also Chair of the Induction Committee for the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame. Rocco is a neighbour, a friend, and a busy guy.
To familiarize himself with current issues, Rocco has been sitting in on council and various committee meetings since mid-2025. He has delegated at a number of them, as well. He does his homework and speaks truthfully and thoughtfully, offering insight and possible solutions, yet is open to different perspectives.
Being friendly, approachable, and a good listener, Rocco truly cares about our town and the people who live here. He is an excellent candidate for the position of Ward 1 Councillor.
I’m proud to endorse Rocco Morsillo for Ward 1 Councillor in Aurora.
I have known Mr. Morsillo as an active and knowledgeable Ward 1 resident for some time. I have had numerous discussions about relevant issues facing Ward 1 and have seen his passion for quality, safe neighbourhoods and for building a connected community. He has demonstrated personal engagement with the Local Ratepayers Associations and has consistently shown genuine commitment to listening to residents and acting on issues that matter to them.
Mr. Morsillo brings experience to budgeting and finance and will provide responsible decision-making. His experience as a local business owner, combined with his years of service on several Aurora committees and boards, has given him valuable insight into how our town operates and the challenges facing our community. His participation in the Aurora Heritage Advisory Committee is another tremendous asset for this Ward. Understanding and protecting Aurora’s natural and built-form heritage while planning responsibly for our future requires thoughtful leadership and a balanced approach.
As a Ward 1 resident, he is acutely aware of the diverse interests and challenges, including neighbourhood safety and level railway crossing safety, traffic management, housing development and support of Ratepayers Associations.
Mr. Morsillo is an independent, critical thinker with confidence that will be an asset on Council. He has declared his opposition to the use of Strong Mayor Powers yet remains confident in his collaborative skills to work with colleagues on Council for the good of all Aurora.
Mr. Morsillo is my choice for Ward 1 in the 2026 election, and I encourage all residents who care about a quality community to consider supporting his candidacy.
I, Rebekah Murdoch, strongly endorse the Aurora Ward 1 candidate, Rocco Morsillo for this upcoming election campaign in the fall of 2026.
I have lived in Aurora for almost 20 years and known Rocco Morsillo for at least 12 of them. I have been fortunate to be a resident who is deeply involved with various businesses, not-for-profits and other community groups.
Over the years I have watched Rocco Morsillo passionately become involved in Aurora at an immediate neighbourhood level as we both live in the Upper Northeast Heritage Quadrant of Aurora, as well as in a more broad-reaching capacity.
He is always the first to engage in community discussions on various platforms of social media as well as actively being involved in various community organizations and groups. His deep involvement in these groups comes equally from being an actual compassionate community member as well as from a more knowledgeable perspective having his own construction company and post secondary understanding about all the pieces involved in an integrated town and community.
Rocco Morsillo handles all matters that he engages with, in a neutral, respectful manner. I believe this kind of temperament and response in a community is essential for remaining impartial and without the drama that can tend to arise in any level of politics. He responds with intelligence, integrity and open-mindedness, hoping to grasp and explore all angles of a situation that might arise in our own little heritage community neighborhood but also in full town manner.
It is my pleasure to endorse Rocco Morsillo for the upcoming municipal election in Aurora. Rocco is a dedicated community leader with a strong understanding of fiscal responsibility and budget management. His experience and practical approach position him well to address Aurora’s growth while keeping the community’s best interests at the forefront. What makes Rocco different is his ability to bring people together and focus on practical solutions. He understands the importance of balancing growth, community needs, and long-term planning, while always keeping people at the center of decisions. I have no doubt that Rocco will approach this role with the same dedication and work ethic I’ve seen firsthand. Our community would be in great hands.
We’re proud to support Rocco Morsillo for Ward 1 Councillor in Aurora. Rocco is deeply involved in our community, with a strong commitment to volunteering and preserving our local heritage. He’s someone who genuinely cares about Aurora and the people who call it home.
Rocco has become our go-to person for all things related to the Town—whether it’s staying informed about what’s happening or understanding the issues that matter most to residents. He takes the time to listen, stays engaged, and always brings a thoughtful, community-focused perspective.
Aurora would be well served by having Rocco as a strong voice on Council.
I’ve known Rocco Morsillo for most of my life, and 23 years ago we made Aurora our home and raised our families together in this incredible community. I’ve seen firsthand his passion for giving back, his strong work ethic, and his commitment to doing what’s right. Rocco genuinely cares about the people of Aurora and has the experience, leadership, and dedication to be an outstanding Ward 1 Councillor. I have no doubt he will be a strong voice for residents and work tirelessly to make our community even better.
