The Three Priorities

What Ward 5 Needs Most Right Now.

01

Keeping Ward 5 Affordable for Renters and Families

New tenants in St. Catharines are currently paying 25.7% more than long-term tenants for the same units. With rental occupancy at ~95%, Ward 5 residents have almost no negotiating power. I will be the explicit renter advocate at council on every zoning, property standards, and housing vote.

Infrastructure That Actually Works in the North End

Ward 5 scores only 2/5 for transit availability. Sidewalk clearing near schools and bus stops consistently falls short. With 23.3% of residents being seniors โ€” above the national average โ€” this is a safety issue, not a convenience issue.

03

Building Community โ€” Not Just Buildings

Walker's Creek Trail, Port Weller Community Centre, and $400,000 in City cultural grants available in 2025. Ward 5 needs a councillor who shows up at planning tables and ensures our ward's voice is heard.

Why I'm Running

Ward 5 deserves more than
it has been getting.

I am Dunsin Sunday Fakorede โ€” your Ward 5 neighbour, a Senior Project Manager with 8+ years of experience delivering $8M+ in capital construction projects across Ontario, and a community leader who has called St. Catharines home.

I am running because Ward 5 deserves a councillor with the credentials to deliver, the community ties to listen, and the record to prove both.

The skills that make a great project manager โ€” accountability, precision, and delivery on time and on budget โ€” are exactly the skills City Hall needs at the Ward 5 council table.
