Five practical ways to pitch in.

Between now and October 26, 2026
Five practical ways to pitch in.
Neighbour-powered


01 · Volunteer
This is the most useful thing you can do. Voters’ list access opens September 1, which is when door-knocking gets serious. Before then there’s plenty to set up with events, data work, neighbourhood coffees, and training materials.


02 · Get a lawn sign
Lawn signs can go up September 26, 2026, in accordance with the City’s election sign by-law.

03 · Tell someone
In municipal races, a word from someone trusted beats almost anything a campaign can do on its own. If anything on this site is worth passing along, that’s where it has the most effect.

04 · Reach Grant
If something on the platform doesn’t sit right, or there’s a Ward 4 issue I should be hearing about, email is the fastest way. I read everything and respond to most within a few days.

City vs. Region
How municipal responsibilities are divided in Niagara
Local roads, sidewalks and snow clearing
Parks and recreation
Libraries
Land-use planning and zoning
Building permits
Local storm sewers and stormwater systems
Property standards and by-law enforcement
Fire services
Public health and paramedic services
Social services and community housing
Niagara Regional Police Service
Waste collection and recycling
Water and wastewater treatment and trunk systems
Regional roads
Niagara Region Transit
Some issues cross both levels and require coordination between the City and the Region.
