Vikki Poirier
Candidate for Ward 4 Councillor
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.

“I support allowing e-bikes that meet the 32 km/h speed and 55 kg weight limits to use the same routes as regular bicycles. E-bikes can make active transportation more accessible to seniors, people with mobility limitations and those travelling longer distances. At the same time, clear rules, education and enforcement are essential. As e-bikes become more common, we need to ensure our policies keep pace and balance accessibility with the safety of everyone using our trails and cycling routes.”
