The Vision For Ward 3


Support transparent budgeting and careful review of city spending to improve efficiency, prioritize value for Ward 3 residents, and help limit pressure on property taxes. This includes ensuring taxpayer dollars are directed toward essential services, infrastructure, and community priorities, while encouraging regular review of administrative processes to eliminate waste and improve service delivery without compromising quality.


Advocate for affordable housing options that allow young adults, families, and seniors to continue living in the community they call home, while preserving the qualities that make Ward 3 unique. This includes supporting “missing middle” housing, encouraging diverse housing types, and working with developers and community partners to increase supply in a way that is thoughtful, sustainable, and integrated into existing neighbourhoods.


Preserve Ward 3’s green spaces, parks, waterways, and rural character while ensuring future development is environmentally responsible and sustainable for generations to come. Tony’s vision includes protecting agricultural lands, strengthening conservation efforts, improving stormwater management, and expanding access to natural spaces so residents can continue to enjoy the outdoors as the community grows.


Supporting practical traffic-calming measures, safer intersections, and improved pedestrian safety to protect residents and enhance quality of life throughout Ward 3. This includes identifying high-risk areas near schools, parks, and residential streets, working with city staff to improve signage, lighting, and crossing safety, and ensuring road design reflects the needs of families, seniors, and all road users. The goal is to create neighbourhoods where residents feel safe walking, cycling, and driving every day.


Addressing traffic congestion, improving road safety, and ensuring transportation infrastructure keeps pace with growth while preserving the quality of life that residents value in Ward 3. This means advocating for smarter traffic flow planning, better coordination of construction and development impacts, and long-term infrastructure investment that prevents bottlenecks before they happen. Tony’s approach focuses on practical solutions that balance growth with livability.


Work with local partners to address rising property crime and vehicle theft through increased police visibility, stronger community partnerships, and support for neighbourhood watch programs across Ward 3. This includes improving communication between residents and local enforcement, encouraging community reporting initiatives, and ensuring neighbourhoods remain safe, connected, and proactive in preventing crime.


Expand access to affordable, quality child care options in Ward 3 by encouraging more community-based and non-profit spaces located near key neighbourhoods and transit routes. This also includes supporting working parents through better service accessibility, partnerships with local providers, and planning that ensures families can find reliable care close to home as the community continues to grow.


Support responsible growth in Ward 3 by reducing barriers such as development fees for non-profit and affordable housing projects to help increase housing supply and community accessibility. Tony’s approach emphasizes balanced development that adds needed housing while ensuring infrastructure, neighbourhood character, and community services are not compromised.
