Randi Prunner

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?

Prunner: shift focus to affordable housing for low- and middle-income residents — inclusionary zoning, density bonuses, land trusts.

  • Create affordable housing and rental opportunities for low- and middle-income residents
  • Work with for-profit developers using inclusionary zoning and density bonuses
  • Incentivize affordable rental projects through Community Land Trusts

Taxes & spending

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

Open to trimming the budget to reduce property taxes where services aren't harmed; says visible results make taxes feel lighter.

  • Asked about growth, infrastructure and taxes, Prunner said if budget savings can reduce property taxes without harming services, they should be considered.
  • Says if services work well and Londoners see tangible positive impacts day-to-day, the weight of property taxes won't feel so heavy.

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.

Prunner: multi-year funding, pending budget analysis, mindful of taxpayer cost.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q8: Support multi-year funding & longer-term partnerships (Yes/No + why).
“Yes — I do, pending an analysis of the current budget. I think it’s smart to invest in our local community organizations, while also being mindful of the cost to taxpayers and understanding how residents access or view these community supports and programs. I do believe that these organizations are important for every class of resident, as they help foster a strong sense of community connection and create a safe and happy community for everyone.”

Confidence:High

Prunner: support Community Land Trusts to keep nonprofit operational spaces affordable.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q10: The City's role in supporting nonprofit infrastructure.
“I think the City can play a pretty big part in supporting the infrastructure the nonprofits use to succeed. Not only could the City support them with clear, defined language for accurate data collection, the City could support nonprofit organizations coming together under Community Land Trusts that would help keep operational spaces affordable. This would also help create physical spaces that these organizations can use to collaborate (ie. sharing resources).”

Prunner: consult nonprofits in planning stages of development projects.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q9: Ensuring nonprofits are included in decision-making.
“Having consultation when in the planning stages for development projects that works with nonprofits will help make well-rounded decisions that impact community wellbeing and economic growth. The nonprofits have a more intimate understanding of what’s happening practically within our community spaces, and know better which economic plans would be successful depending on the area of focus.”

Prunner would support the Downtown Plan but 'not at the expense of the rest of the City' — no community left ignored.

  • Support Downtown Plan actions with appropriate funding where necessary
  • Balanced approach benefiting a larger portion of Londoners
  • No individual community or area should feel ignored and underfunded
“Yes, if elected I would support the actions of the Downtown Plan, and support allocating appropriate funding and resources where necessary, but not at the expense of the rest of the City. I believe a proper, balanced approach would be more beneficial for a larger portion of Londoners, so that no individual community or area of London feels ignored and underfunded.”

Roads & infrastructure

Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?

  • Asked how London should pay for growth while keeping taxes competitive, Prunner said it is prudent to maintain a baseline of funding for roads, water and wastewater systems.
  • Wants roadwork delegated more strategically to reduce the impact on drivers and traffic congestion.

Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?

Proposes a Community Land Trust for small-business startups to lock in reasonable rents and keep non-profits' costs low.

  • Asked what Council should do to support business growth, Prunner said vacant commercial units sit in disrepair asking unsustainable rents, and the unhoused presence deters small-business ventures.
  • Proposes a Community Land Trust for small-business startups with locked-in, reasonable rental pricing to help both non-profits and small-business talent.

Active transportation

Arts & culture

Does the candidate value what makes this place feel alive?

Says the City should help repair cultural facilities falling into disrepair before they are lost, calling it a wise investment.

  • Asked which cultural infrastructure should be prioritised, Prunner said the City should identify buildings falling into disrepair beyond what facility operators can maintain, and help with major repairs that would otherwise shut them down.
  • Says losing these spaces would be a painful cultural blow and add more vacant decaying buildings; repairing now costs less than full teardown and rebuild later.
Show their words & source (a few sentences)
“The City should start with looking at which buildings are falling into states of disrepair beyond what could be maintained by the facility operating in that space, and offer assistance for major repairs that would render the facility inoperable if left untreated.”
