Frances Nunziata

Candidate for Councillor - Ward 5 (York South-Weston)

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?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Frances Nunziata backs empowering homeowners to build garden suites and basement apartments for income and multi-generational housing.

  • She says she voted to make it easier to build garden suites and basement apartments.
  • She frames this as giving families passive income and multi-generational housing on their own land.
“We also need to empower homeowners. That is why I voted to make it easier for you to build a garden suite or create a basement apartment, giving local families the freedom to generate passive income and build multi-generational housing on their own land.”
