A focused plan for Ward 5 Kitchener.

Keep property taxes manageable for working families, seniors and small businesses by holding the city to a disciplined budget.

• Scrutinize every line of the operating budget the way a small business owner does — because that's who Fitz is.
• Push back on tax increases that outpace what residents earn.
• Prioritize core services over nice-to-have spending.

Reliable water and well-maintained roads, with new development funding the roads, parks and services it depends on.

• Protect Kitchener’s water supply with proactive investment, not reactive repair.
• Fix roads, sidewalks and lighting in Ward 5 neighbourhoods that have been waiting too long.
• Plan transit, schools and services alongside new housing — not years behind it.

Advance a community-centred public safety plan that makes Ward 5 safer for everyone — especially kids.

• Back community-led safety programs that actually work for kids.
• Focus on safety for kids, school routes, and the neighbourhoods they travel through every day.
• Coordinate with police, schools, families, and community organizations to keep our communities safe.
