George Tavares
Candidate for Councillor Ward 7
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.
Taxes & spending
What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?
Tavares would protect taxpayers with spending reviews, value-for-money and an independent Auditor General.
- Review spending, demand better value for money.
- Push for stronger independent oversight, including an independent Auditor General.
