Candidate for Councillor Ward 6

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?

Backs higher-density infill near transit and jobs, more deeply affordable housing, public-land use and affordable-unit protection.

  • Asked what changes she would support to increase housing supply, Nadea said the City should encourage higher-density development, infill and mixed-use communities near transit, employment, schools and amenities.
  • Also supports more affordable and deeply affordable housing, protecting existing affordable rentals, using public lands, incentives and expedited approvals, and accessible options for seniors and people with disabilities.

Government

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