Candidate for Ward 9 Councillor
Elected (official result)
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.
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.
Will I be able to afford to live here?
Chapman would have Kitchener council introduce a vacancy tax as part of her affordable-housing plan.
“I would like to see council introduce a vacancy tax.”

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.
Chapman wants network gaps closed, wider trails, better signage, asphalt replacing gravel, and e-bike speed enforcement.
“There are gaps in the network that need to be closed. I would like to see more signage on the multi-use trails to ensure the safety of all users. Signs large enough to be seen by cyclists and low enough to be seen by walkers and rollers. Replace gravel trails with asphalt. Find ways to enforce ebike and escooter speeds on trails. Work with corporations/strip-malls to install bike racks on their premises. Require bike check services at all events whether city run or otherwise.”

Chapman wants more regular public transit service across Kitchener, including half-buses feeding the ION.
“I think we need more regular public transportation services throughout the City. One suggestion might be to use 'half-buses' departing from the ION route and into the suburbs on a more frequent bases. Bringing the services to neighbourhoods is another way to facilitate people's needs. Just as we set-up schools in neighbourhoods to accommodate the needs of families, we should also be using a similar approach to ensure that there are Dr's offices, dentists, grocery stores, a hardware store etc, in close proximity to where people live. Zoning needs to ensure intensification in all areas of the city to justify increased public transportation but also to incentivize services to set-up shop in areas further away from the core.”
