Mario Jozic

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.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Jozic would accelerate housing on vacant land and create a permanent Affordable Infill and Additional Residential Unit Matching Fund.

  • Accelerate housing construction on vacant and underused land
  • Permanent Affordable Infill and Additional Residential Unit Matching Fund
  • Prioritize projects with meaningful affordability commitments, not unconditioned market-rate subsidies
Show their words & source (several paragraphs)
“City Council should accelerate housing construction on vacant and underused land, streamline approvals and reduce unnecessary delays while ensuring new development fits surrounding neighbourhoods. I support a permanent Affordable Infill and Additional Residential Unit Matching Fund, prioritizing projects with meaningful affordability commitments rather than subsidizing market-rate development without conditions.”

Taxes & spending

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

Jozic: every dollar must be spent responsibly, with stronger oversight, competitive procurement and measurable outcomes.

  • Property-tax relief and financial accountability a top priority
  • Londoners cannot continue absorbing large tax increases without better results
  • Stronger oversight, competitive procurement, measurable outcomes

“First, property-tax relief and financial accountability matter because Londoners cannot continue absorbing large tax increases without seeing better results. Every dollar must be spent responsibly, with stronger oversight, competitive procurement and measurable outcomes.”

Government

Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Jozic: create a long-term advisory group giving nonprofits a stronger voice on food insecurity and homelessness.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q9: Ensuring nonprofits are included in decision-making.
“Create a long-term advisory group that includes municipal representatives and representatives from nonprofit organizations. Give nonprofit representatives a stronger voice when discussing issues like food insecurity, homelessness, etc. Work with nonprofit representatives on transparent data and information sharing in order to measure the viability of various programs. Support the ones that are working while making necessary adjustments to programs that are not delivering.”

Jozic wants clear approval timelines, online tracking, a single City contact, and public reporting on approval times.

  • Asked how to make it easier to invest and operate in London, Jozic said he would establish clear approval timelines, online application tracking and a single City contact to resolve delays.
  • He wants transparent, competitive procurement open to qualified local businesses and measurable customer-service standards with regular public reporting.
“I would establish clear approval timelines, online application tracking and a single City contact to help businesses resolve delays. Procurement should be transparent, competitive and accessible to qualified local businesses. City departments should also have measurable customer-service standards, with regular public reporting on approval times and performance.”

Jozic: multi-year funding platform for organizations with shown, measurable results.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q8: Support multi-year funding & longer-term partnerships (Yes/No + why).
“Yes — I support a multi-year funding platform/partnership with organizations that have shown results and have measurable success. It is one of the most important ways to maintain stability and ensure long-term viability is possible. Uncertainty does not create strong foundations.”

Think we’ve got this wrong?

Roads & infrastructure

Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?

Jozic would prioritize infrastructure by public safety and urgency, maintaining roads and pipes before new projects.

  • Asked how to prioritize infrastructure investments, Jozic said he would prioritize based on public safety, urgency, population growth, existing capacity, economic impact and long-term value.
  • He says maintaining current roads, pipes and facilities should come before committing to projects the city cannot afford to operate.

“I would prioritize infrastructure based on public safety, urgency, population growth, existing capacity, economic impact and long-term value. Maintaining current roads, pipes and facilities should come before committing to projects we cannot afford to operate. Competitive property taxes require disciplined spending, coordinated construction, preventative maintenance and transparent cost-benefit analysis.”

Confidence:High

Economy

Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?

Jozic would enforce property standards and escalating fees for buildings left vacant, and fast-track adaptive-reuse permits.

  • Stronger enforcement of property standards and escalating fees for vacant/deteriorating buildings
  • Fast-track permits for adaptive reuse like converting vacant upper floors into housing
  • Heritage restoration grants or tax incentives tied to firm construction and occupancy deadlines

Confidence:High

Environment

Is the candidate protecting the nature we live in?

Jozic says climate funding should target the greatest verified emissions reductions at the lowest cost, using senior-government funds.

  • Asked which climate plan elements to prioritize, Jozic said the next council should concentrate funding on the measures producing the greatest verified reductions at the lowest cost.
  • He wants the City to maximize provincial, federal and utility funding rather than burden property taxpayers, keep programs accessible to lower-income households, and publicly report costs, savings and emissions per initiative.
Show their words & source (several paragraphs)
“Since we are not even close to meeting those targets, the next Council should concentrate funding on the measures producing the greatest verified reductions at the lowest cost. The City should maximize provincial, federal and utility funding rather than place the full burden on property taxpayers. Programs should remain accessible to lower-income households and small businesses. Every major initiative should publicly report its costs, energy savings, emissions reductions and jobs created so funding can be directed toward measures that deliver proven environmental and economic benefits.”

Will there be a doctor and a hospital when we need one?

Social & community services

Who looks after the most vulnerable residents?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Jozic: make nonprofits the focal point on homelessness, food insecurity, mental health and youth.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q11: The nonprofit sector's role & what success looks like.
“I see the nonprofit sector playing a vital role in London's economic and community development. I hope we can use nonprofit organizations as the main focal point to address homelessness, food insecurity, mental health, youth opportunities and more. Over the next 4 years, the City needs to become an active partner and collaborator in order to create an environment for nonprofits to be viable and succeed. Moreover, in the next 4 years, I hope the nonprofit sector is actively involved in decision making and advising, rather than simply the city sharing decisions after they have been made. It is important to collaborate with experts in various fields.”

Jozic would advocate for restored provincial and federal drug-crisis funding while the city closes urgent gaps with measurable programs.

  • Advocate for restored provincial and federal funding
  • Coordinated response: mobile outreach, withdrawal management, treatment, mental-health care, supportive housing
  • City should help close urgent gaps but cannot permanently replace provincial healthcare funding
“I will advocate for restored provincial and federal funding while supporting a coordinated response focused on mobile outreach, withdrawal management, treatment, mental-health care and supportive housing.”
