Barbara Daniela Gandolfo

Candidate for Ward 1 Orléans East-Cumberland 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.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Adaptive reuse of vacant commercial buildings plus municipally owned vacant land for housing

  • Convert vacant commercial buildings into residential units
  • Contribute municipally owned vacant land to lower initial project costs for non-profit builders
