Devin Wilkins

Candidate for Councillor - Ward 19 (Beaches-East York)

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?

Devin Wilkins: rezone for medium-density housing, strengthen tenant rights, rent control on all residential properties.

  • Growing Together priority: Toronto is growing rapidly, and housing policies should grow with it.
  • Rezone neighbourhoods to allow more medium-density housing; strengthen tenant rights and improve landlord accountability.
  • Reduce property taxes for families raising children at home; rent control on all residential properties.
  • 'Let's build a Ward 19 that grows together, and that means fair housing.'
