Nicholas Saika-Voivod

Candidate for Councillor Ward 13

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?

Saika-Voivod: a demoviction/rental-replacement bylaw — protect tenants from homelessness, preserve affordable housing.

  • Demoviction/rental replacement bylaw as his signature issue
  • Protect tenants from becoming homeless and preserve affordable housing
  • Mandate that all future developments include a majority of low-income units before gaining city approval

“If I had to pick one issue, it would be a demoviction/rental replacement bylaw. This is something I feel strongly towards as these bylaws protect tenants from becoming homeless and preserve affordable housing.”

Taxes & spending

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

Saika-Voivod: reallocate the police budget and seek more provincial funding — homelessness is a systemic issue needing higher-level action.

  • Advocate heavily for the reallocation of the police budget
  • Seek increased funding from the provincial government
  • The homelessness and affordability crisis is a broader systemic issue, not municipal neglect

“To achieve this, I would advocate heavily for the reallocation of the police budget as well as increased funding from the provincial government. The homelessness and affordability crisis within London does not stem from municipal neglect; it is a broader systemic issue that needs to be addressed on a higher level.”
