Jackson Ho

Candidate for Councillor - Ward 22 (Scarborough-Agincourt)

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?

Would have the City buy existing condo units and offer them to low-income families at subsidized rents.

  • Diversify the affordable housing strategy by purchasing existing residential units.
  • Offer purchased units to low-income families at subsidized rents.
