2022 Municipal and Regional Elections

GREN sent a survey to all regional, city, and township candidates running in Waterloo Region. We asked the following questions:

1. Cities/urban centres are responsible for 80% of our greenhouse gas emissions. What is in your plans to reduce that?


2. What are your plans to support a 15-Minute City where everything we need can be accessed by foot or bike in that time and reduce vehicle use?


3. The Doughnut Economy is a working model that addresses both social and environmental issues to create a livable future for everyone without exceeding Earth’s ability to provide.
   What are your priorities to meet these challenges?


4. Optional question: Do you have campaign donations from speculators/developers and, if so,
   what percentage of your funding?

Below are responses from candidates who responded to the survey.
