Tracey Weiler — Ward 5 Kitchener City Councillor Candidate 2026
Connecting Our Community!
Ward 5 deserves a councillor who listens, acts, and delivers. I'm running to prioritize everyday affordability, champion smart growth, make our streets safer, and build the community connections our ward deserves.
Four priorities for a stronger Ward 5
Real issues. Real solutions. Real commitment to our community.
Fiscal Responsibility & Everyday Affordability
As our city grows, your household budget shouldn't be stretched to the breaking point. I'll push for fiscal restraint, predictable property taxes, and affordable city services for every family and senior.

Managed Growth & Housing Choice
Ward 5 is growing fast. I'll push for smart growth — diverse housing options like townhomes and starter homes — while ensuring new development invests in green spaces and neighbourhood character.

Neighbourhood Safety & Traffic Calming
Every resident deserves to feel safe on their street. I'll advocate for structural traffic-calming measures, safety upgrades near schools and parks, and expanded GRT transit across the ward.

Community Connection & Recreation
Having secured state-of-the-art community and recreation facilities in Ward 5, our focus must now turn to making them dynamic, inclusive hubs of neighbourhood life. It's about ensuring every resident feels welcome, connected, and supported.

Kitchener isn't just where I live, it's where I've built my life, raised my family, and found my community. I'm running because I believe we can do better together, and I'm ready to do the work.
