POTVIN, Shane

Candidate for Councillor Ward 5

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?

Potvin wants core density, less red tape for homeowners and developers, and Vision Zero road safety.

  • Would add density to the core to attract businesses and residents and build vibrant neighbourhoods.
  • Wants efficient city processes and less red tape so residents can add value to homes (e.g., additional dwelling units) and developers want to build.
  • Supports a proactive approach to safety, investment in addiction and homelessness services, and Vision Zero to reduce pedestrian and cyclist deaths.
