Patrick Yeung
Candidate for Ward 6 Councillor
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.

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?
Yeung pledges 50% of his after-tax councillor salary to an independent, publicly reported community fund.
- Priority One 'Half my salary · Double the care': donate 50 percent of his annual after-tax Councillor salary to an independent Community Development Fund for Families, with public applications, independent review and annual reporting.

Active transportation
Can I walk and bike safely around town?
This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.
Pledges to close cycling gaps so no route ends at a high-speed road; will press York Region on safe arterial crossings.
- PRE-WINDOW verified miss: the Oct 23 PM scout verified these answers never extracted anywhere (baselines, all Oct 20-23 run JSONs, all import files); response links are JS-gated — recovered by the PM live-browser pass.
- 10-question safe-streets/active-transportation questionnaire; this row extracts one substantive answer.
- Response signed by his campaign manager Shaun Michael Samaroo (published as the campaign's answers).
“A route that ends at a high-speed road is not a route. I will press to close the gaps between neighbourhoods and the places people actually go: Angus Glen Community Centre, our schools, Kennedy Road businesses, and transit stops.”
