Tobin Tuff
Candidate for Councillor Ward 4
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.

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.
Revive Kenilworth corridors; relocate commercial-zone residents with comparable-rent options.
- Support under-served commercial corridors
- Incentivize relocation to new affordable units
“Commercial corridors like Kenilworth are affected by the affordable housing problem. Many buildings zoned commercially are being used as residences. For example, we could incentivize moving out by offering locations with comparable rent, as current affordable housing projects still under construction become available.”

“I would push to bring the moratorium back to council, or bring forth a new motion that achieves the same goal. That way, we have time to develop a comprehensive ruleset for keeping data centres appropriately away from our residents.”

Does the candidate value what makes this place feel alive?
Tuff calls the arts essential to the city's soul and backs practical, fiscally responsible arts investment.
- Supports reviewing the City Enrichment Fund but says property-tax funding must be weighed against other needs to avoid tax increases.
- Would push for reviewing how city-owned spaces are priced and prioritized so local arts groups get fair access.
- Favours engaging artists in commercial-street revitalization, e.g. Kenilworth in Ward 4.
