Gord Elliott

Candidate for Mayor

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?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Elliott wants mandatory audits and checks on all high-rise developments so growth doesn't come at communities' expense.

  • Mandatory audits, checks and balances on all high-rise developments.
  • Growth cannot come at the expense of existing communities.
  • Cites halting a second tower in his building's visitor parking/green space.
“As Mayor, I will institute mandatory audits, checks, and balances on all high-rise developments across Mississauga.”
