Olivia Gannon

Candidate for Councillor Ward 1

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?

Gannon wants more housing options in Ward 1, including multi-unit, co-op, community and supportive housing on underused land.

  • Ward 1 needs more housing options: multi-unit, cooperative, community and supportive housing.
  • Wants better use of underused spaces, older plazas, vacant properties and parking areas.
  • Supports protecting existing green space while adding homes.
