Thank you to all my supporters! We had a good run. However, the issues remain. Get involved.
Matt Kindbom
Ward 2 Town Councillor, Halton Hills
Matt Kindbom Fighting to maintain, manage and protect Halton
Our municipality is facing dramatic growth in the next ten years. Having a steady, smart, and common-sense Councillor like me is going to be essential. This election will have tremendous influence over the future of our community. Your vote today defines tomorrow.
ONGOING WARD ISSUES
Speeding and Traffic
The safety of our residents is paramount. Concerns must be tackled quickly and decisively. Lives are at stake.
Quality of life
Rural garbage collection, protecting wells & clean drinking water, snow removal, high-speed internet and more online services are all basic necessities.
Protecting Greenspace
Protecting our natural greenspaces and rich farmlands is vital as neighbouring municipalities keep expanding. Without strong leadership our greatest treasure will be lost. I won't let that happen.This rural, green landscape is part of our identity. It shapes who we are.
Public Accountability
Term limits must be implemented.
Transparency and accountability are vital in politics. Government must know the real concerns of its people. A community needs to know what's going on and where its money is being spent. To get continuous improvement, performance must be evaluated regularly and satisfaction measured. Conflicts of interests must be eliminated.
Preserving our charm
Our rural character gives us a sense of place, charm and connectedness. It connects with our natural landscape, arts, culture, sporting and recreation activities. Together with our rich history and architecture it is a great resource - particularly to our hamlets. This must be safeguarded.
Maintaining Our Way of Life
The word is out. Halton Hills is the perfect place to live, raise a family and retire. I will do everything in my power to maintain the rural spirit and a way of life that we have all come to enjoy. It must remain a safe and welcoming place for everyone - from children to seniors alike.
Fighting Sprawl and Reckless Development
I am dedicated to ensuring that growth is deliberate and positioned smartly. Uncontrolled expansion is the most immediate threat to our quality of life. The extension of highways and GO trains are going to generate significant pressures. We must have a cohesive plan. See zoning map
Smart Growth
No place can survive without some growth. Ensuring we are growing intelligently is critical. Investment in Halton Hills must work for everyone, and not just a few. Our Hamlets and rural communities have special needs and concerns. These must be addressed. The value of services to rural residents must be tracked, rated, fixed and improved.
Let's work together!
I want to hear what you think.
