The municipal election takes place on Monday, October 26, 2026. However, the City of Pickering typically opens up advance voting windows—including secure online voting options—in the weeks leading up to Election Day.

If you live in western Pickering neighborhoods like West Shore, Dunbarton, Rougemount, Rosebank, or parts of Amberlea, you are likely in Ward 1. Because boundaries can get confusing near major intersections, you can double-check your address instantly using the City of Pickering Ward Map linked in our resources section below.

You can vote in the Pickering municipal election if, on voting day, you are:

1. A Canadian citizen.

2. At least 18 years old.

3. A resident of Pickering, or an owner/tenant of land here (or the spouse of an owner/tenant).

Most politicians run on top-down promises to fix everything themselves, only to get stuck in bureaucratic gridlock. As a Facilitator, my goal is to build structural pipelines that hand decision-making power back to you. Whether it’s forcing developers to co-design projects with our neighborhood groups or setting up resident-led funds to upgrade our parks, my job is to bring the tools and resources straight to your street so the neighborhood holds the steering wheel.

Growth is coming, but it should happen with us, not to us. I am advocating for the international IAP2 framework for public participation. This means moving past City Hall’s current habit of just sticking a notice sign on a lawn and calling it a day. I want to mandate pre-application co-design workshops where developers must collaborate directly with immediate neighbors to adjust building heights, preserve local independent retail, and secure infrastructure upgrades before blueprints are locked in.

We would love to have you on the roster! You can request a lawn sign or sign up for low-stress volunteer roles (like dropping flyers on your own block or helping with backend data tracking) directly on our [Join the Campaign] page.
