Why Vote?

Councillors and Trustees significantly impact all aspects of city and Regional life that affect us daily: parks, libraries, streets, transit, garbage, schools and so much more.

By voting, you are choosing a candidate, who, if they win, will participate in passing important by-laws, advancing new policies, approving budgets, and making decisions that will influence the future of our City and the Region of Peel.
