With only two candidates in the race, it was hoped we could provide you with two opinions on the questions. Only Mayor Jeff Jordan chose to respond and his opponent, John Dunstall, decided not to respond despite several emails sent to him regarding the questionnaire.

It’s a Friday and the final post of the ward-by-ward roundup of candidates and their views on matters of growth, planning and development for your consideration. Ward 4 is by far the most transitional of wards with the largest group of new voters thanks to development over the past four years. Responses were received from all but one of the Ward 4 candidates, due to extenuating circumstances.

All Ward and Mayoral candidates were emailed a short questionnaire last week and sent a “last call” reminder email before the deadline.

As most readers are aware Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, passed away earlier today at the age of 96. The Queen was the longest-reigning and longest-living of all British monarchs.
While there are Official Portraits of the Queen, it thought it fitting to show a photo of the Queen and Prince Philip during their visit to Niagara Falls in the autumn of 1951. She was well-loved by not only those in the UK, but those in and out of the Commonwealth, including Niagara.
Our condolences go out to the Royal Family and all those here in Canada and around the world who admired her grace and charm. She is succeeded by her son, King Charles III. Vivat Rex.
