Sameer Tandon

Candidate for Councillor, Regional - Wards 2, 6

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 17 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Tandon would speed appropriate housing approvals, strengthen rental and property standards, and back small business and local jobs.

  • Track housing applications and fix avoidable municipal delays
  • Support affordable, purpose-built rental, supportive and seniors housing
  • Public tracker for major affordable and rental housing projects
  • Clearer service standards for parking, property standards and rental enforcement
