RESPECT THE TAXPAYER

Sharing how the 33% raise alone is more money that what people on ODSP or Ontario Works make in an entire year!

ACCOUNTABILITY

Speaking at Guelph City Council against the 33% pay raise; especially when residents are facing record high property taxes the last 4 years.

Environment

Using phytoremediation at the old Imico site means cleaning up contaminated soil with trees and plants instead of digging it all up and hauling it away. It’s a greener, smarter way to handle the cleanup: it saves taxpayers millions of dollars on costly excavation and landfill fees, while turning a polluted brownfield into healthier green space. Trees pull contaminants out of the ground, protect local water, and create a safer environment for people, wildlife, and our neighbourhoods. In short, it’s a win for the environment and a win for Guelph’s tax bill. #Fiscalresponsibility #IMICORestore #GuelphEnvironment #Ward2

Transit Dignity

TRANSIT DIGNITY After years of stalling; we need a public washroom at the Guelph Central Station now, not years away. #Guelph #Transit #TransitDignity #Environment #Commuters

My personal views and opinion on the final approval of Saint George’s Square revitalization plan. Another missed opportunity to improve and have more community involvement. #AlecPurves #WardTwo #2026MunicipalElection #SaintGeorgesSquare #Guelph
