Michael Dancy

Candidate for Councillor, Regional - Wards 9, 10

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?

Dancy backs townhomes, co-ops and medium-density neighbourhoods for affordable family options, while protecting existing communities.

  • Townhomes, co-ops and medium-density neighbourhoods
  • More affordable options for families
  • Protect the character of existing communities

Taxes & spending

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Dancy would finish already-paid-for projects before starting new ones and treat every tax dollar like it came from residents' own wallets.

  • Finish projects already paid for before starting new ones
  • Residents deserve to know what projects cost and why they're delayed
  • Every tax dollar treated like it came from your own wallet

Emergency services

When I call for help, will it come fast enough?

Dancy says police belong enforcing traffic laws across the city rather than concentrated downtown.

  • Police presence where traffic laws are being broken
  • Not concentrated downtown
  • Traffic enforcement across the city

“We don't need police officers downtown, we need police officers enforcing traffic laws in other parts of the city.”

Government

Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?

Dancy says taxpayers deserve representatives who ask questions, demand accountability and spend public money wisely.

  • Ask questions and demand accountability
  • Make sure public money is spent wisely
  • Not a career politician — a representative
