Eugene Farago

Candidate for Councillor Ward 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 16 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?

Farago wants responsible growth: new homes built with the roads, parks and community spaces that go with them.

  • Supports responsible growth where new homes come with matching roads, parks and community spaces.
  • Wants residents, the City and developers to plan growth together.

“As new homes are built, we need to make sure we're building the roads, parks, and community spaces that go with them. That means residents, the City, and developers working together on how our neighbourhoods grow.”

Taxes & spending

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

Farago says City Hall should budget like families do and spend existing money responsibly before asking taxpayers for more.

  • Says families live within a budget and City Hall should do the same.
  • Before asking taxpayers for more, the city must show it is spending existing money responsibly.

“Our families have to live within a budget and make choices about how we spend our money. We should expect the same from City Hall. Before asking taxpayers for more, we need to make sure we're spending the money we already have responsibly.”

Emergency services

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

Farago links community safety to safer roads, better sidewalks, more parks and neighbours looking out for each other.

  • Sees neighbours looking out for one another as part of what makes the community safe.
  • Supports safer roads, better sidewalks and more parks and recreation to keep it that way.

“Our neighbours are part of what makes our community safe. We say hi when we pass each other on the street and look out for each other's kids at the park. Safer roads, better sidewalks, and more parks and recreation help us keep it that way.”

Transit

Can I get where I need to go without driving?

Not reviewed yet. Know something?

Government

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

City should finalize and enforce its Original and Secondary Plans instead of approving one-off amendments.

  • Wants a final version of the Original Plan and Secondary Plans
  • Would enforce them rather than considering individual amendments

“I would like to see the City and Planning Committee determine a final version of their Original Plan and Secondary Plans and commit to enforcing them instead of addressing every individual amendment that comes forward.”
