Candidate Questionnaire
This is Your Opportunity to Explain Your Position on the Issues

  1. How do you see a 2-year path to reducing Owen Sound property taxes via staff/budget cuts?
    (See: Administration Overstaffing and City Manager's Budget Growth)

  2. What are your ideas for attracting jobs to Owen Sound and how would you go about implementing your ideas?

  3. What role do you think the municipality should have in addressing the unhoused in Owen Sound? What are your ideas for solving this problem?

  4. What are your thoughts on solving the doctor crisis in Owen Sound? (See attached article on Colwood, BC).

  5. If elected, what steps will you take to enhance public participation at city hall? Are you in favour of removing the restrictions that our current council placed on Question Period and Deputations? Do you support the concept of periodically having Town Hall Style meetings where residents can participate in a dialog with members of council?

These five issues are what we have identified as key areas of concern for Owen Sounders. If you are considering running for council, whether as an incumbent or new candidate, your answers to these questions matter. Please take the time to submit your answers to: Candidate@RemakeCouncil.com
