Mark Daly
Candidate for Councillor Ward 7
Elected (official result)
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.
Taxes & spending
What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?
No tax increases above inflation; departments must find savings first.
- Would not support tax increases above inflation
- Control spending; City Hall must deliver better results for the money

“On taxes, I would not support increases above inflation and would expect city departments to find savings and efficiencies before asking residents for more.”

Arts & culture
Does the candidate value what makes this place feel alive?
Daly says the city should not price artists out of city-owned spaces; backs fund review tied to evidence.
- Would review the City Enrichment Fund against a nearly 40% rise in applications, supporting increases only if evidence shows value.
- Would review city-owned spaces, rates and policies before spending on new facilities.
- Applies a responsible-spending, clear-priorities, evidence-of-value standard to arts funding.
