Ward 3 Councillor Candidate
About Tony
Committed To Our Community
I am a lifelong Burlington resident, television producer, media professional, small business owner, and community volunteer who has proudly called Ward 3 home since 1972. My roots run deep here, this is where I grew up, raised my family, built my career, and spent decades volunteering in the community.
Over the years, I have volunteered with organizations and initiatives including BurLINKton Dinner Night Out, Gage Park Food Outreach, the Burlington Barracudas, BLOMHA, Burlington Youth Soccer, Embracing Abilities, and SOS – Save Our Schools, along with many other community projects and events.
I am running for Ward 3 Councillor because I believe residents deserve a strong, accessible voice at City Hall. I have heard concerns about affordability, taxes, growth, infrastructure, traffic, neighbourhood safety, and protecting the character of our community. I believe local government works best when it listens, communicates openly, and remains accountable to the people it serves.
My background in business, communications, and community leadership has taught me the importance of listening, solving problems, and bringing people together. I am committed to being accessible, responsive, and engaged with residents throughout the year, not just during an election campaign.
Ward 3 has given so much to my family over the years. I am running because I want to give back and help ensure Burlington remains a safe, affordable, welcoming, and vibrant community for current and future generations.

Traffic Safety & Road Improvements
Supporting practical traffic-calming measures, safer intersections, and improved pedestrian safety to protect residents and enhance quality of life throughout Ward 3.
Infrastructure Solutions
Addressing traffic congestion, improving road safety, and ensuring transportation infrastructure keeps pace with growth while preserving the quality of life that residents value.
Affordable Housing
Advocate for affordable housing options that allow young adults, families, and seniors to continue living in the community they call home, while preserving the qualities that make Ward 3 unique.
Support Families
Expand access to affordable, quality child care options in Ward 3 by encouraging more community-based and non-profit spaces located near key neighbourhoods and transit routes.
