Deven Sandhu

Candidate for Ward 4 Councillor (Concord/Thornhill)

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?

Sandhu would prioritize missing-middle housing near transit, speed up approvals, and streamline secondary suites for gentle density.

  • Prioritize missing-middle housing (townhomes, secondary suites) near transit.
  • Speed up approvals; require purpose-built rental near transit.
  • Streamline secondary-suite approvals for gentle density in existing neighbourhoods.
