Williamsville, Ont. candidates meet for debate ahead of municipal election
“Your concerns are my concerns, my family’s concerns, and I’m invested in bettering our community for all of us.”Ian Clark, a local anti-poverty activist and front-line health-care worker through the first two years of the pandemic, was the last to speak.
“We need a housing plan that actually addresses people’s needs directly, not just promises that they will be met by accident,” Clark said. “Vote for me and I promise that I will work tirelessly for a Kingston where everyone’s needs are met. Where no one has to worry about losing their housing or going hungry.”While there are five candidates on the ballot for District 9, Selina Chiarelli didn’t take part in the meeting.
Rob Fonger announced that he’s withdrawn from the election, but too late to take his name off the ballot.He urged Williamsville residents to get out and vote — just not for him — on Oct. 24.
