Yvette Ashiri

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.

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Increase housing supply including affordable and rental; make development approvals more efficient

  • Support increasing the supply of housing, including affordable and rental housing
  • Make the development approval process more efficient so delays do not add costs to new homes
