Nathan Yusifov

Candidate for Councillor - Ward 18 (Willowdale)

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?

Nathan Yusifov: new housing must come with proper planning — developers contributing fairly to parks, childcare, roads and services.

  • The challenge is not simply building more towers: rapid condo growth along Yonge and Finch has outpaced community infrastructure.
  • New housing must come with proper planning — developers contributing fairly toward parks, recreation centres, childcare spaces, road upgrades and community services; protect neighbourhood character while encouraging responsible growth near transit.

Taxes & spending

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Nathan Yusifov says residents deserve leadership that balances growth with quality of life, protects taxpayers and improves planning.

  • Focus on practical solutions instead of political slogans; leadership that balances growth with quality of life.
  • Protects taxpayers and improves long-term planning; managing Toronto's nearly $19 billion budget needs analytical, accountable leadership.

Emergency services

When I call for help, will it come fast enough?

Nathan Yusifov: safety is about prevention too — well-lit streets, active community spaces, responsive services, thoughtful planning.

  • Safety is one of the most important concerns for Willowdale residents as the neighbourhood grows denser.
  • Safety is not only about enforcement — it is also about prevention: well-lit streets, active community spaces, responsive city services and thoughtful urban planning.
  • Safer public spaces through better design: better street lighting, clearer pedestrian crossings, maintained parks, safer transit environments.
