Why this campaign is different
Ward 10 has been asked to absorb rising costs, aging infrastructure and reckless development without being consulted. This campaign starts from a simple rule: residents first.
- No developer money. Not one dollar, no exceptions.
- Protecting our aging grid so residents are not left footing the bill for upgrades.
- Proven policy, not promises. Solutions already working in Toronto, Barrie, Hamilton and Greenstone.
My Three Pillars for Ward 10.
Affordability. Strong infrastructure. Supporting small businesses.
Affordability
Lower costs. More & secure affordable housing. Keeping utilities low.
Strong Infrastructure
Fix our roads. Protect our grid. Transit that works.
Supporting Small Businesses
Cut taxes. Cut red tape. Create jobs.
Protect and strengthen our electricity grid.
Our electricity grid is aging, overstretched, and failing to keep up with demand. 54 per cent of Hydro Ottawa’s assets have reached the end of their useful life, and by 2030 that is expected to hit 67 per cent. Winter electricity use in Ottawa is projected to jump 166 per cent by 2043.
That means investing in battery storage, modernizing aging infrastructure, and ensuring new developments don’t leave residents footing the bill for upgrades.
Ward 10 Deserves Better.
For years, residents here have been told to wait. Wait four years for a renoviction bylaw and get a weaker one than Toronto’s.
Wait for roads that never get fixed. Wait while hundreds of millions in development charges are waived and property taxes climb to cover the gap. Wait while our grid ages out and hydro bills keep climbing.
Waiting is not a plan. Ward 10 needs a councillor who shows up before the decision is made, not after.
“We kept being told our concerns were noted. Noted is not the same as fixed. That is exactly why this ward needs someone who has lived it.” — A Ward 10 resident
