Candidates for Council in Ward 1

In each Town of Oakville ward, residents are represented by a town councillor as well as a town and regional councillor.

Residents must elect both unless a candidate is acclaimed.

Alexandra Caldwell

Occupation I’m a flight attendant with a major Canadian airline.

Do you live in the ward? Yes. I reside in Bronte with my husband and daughter. I have been living in Ward 1, specifically in Bronte Village and Lakeshore Woods, for almost 20 years.

Previous political experience I’m a first-time candidate. My background comes from two decades working in a highly regulated industry where listening, sound judgment, teamwork, and accountability matter. This experience has taught me to make decisions under pressure and find common ground with others.

If elected what will your priorities be?

My main focuses are ensuring livability, enhancing community connections, and creating more opportunities for active lifestyles.

Ward 1 is undergoing significant growth and construction. I will push for better coordination among projects, clearer communication with residents, and practical steps to minimize the impact on local businesses and daily life.

I’ll work to advance the approved Bronte Waterfront Strategy and Streetscape Plan towards completion through realistic short-, medium-, and long-term goals. These include increasing year-round activities at the waterfront by completing a skating loop at Bronte Heritage Park, for example.

I will also advocate for establishing a library and community hub in Bronte that provides residents of all ages a welcoming space to learn, connect, and engage with community programs.

I plan to collaborate with residents, town staff, and regional partners to find practical solutions regarding e-scooters, e-bikes, and excessive vehicle noise-issues that municipalities across Ontario are currently addressing.

I’ll ensure accessibility is at the forefront of every project I support-from sidewalks and trails to parks and public spaces. I’ll team up with community organizations, local businesses, and other levels of government to secure funding when needed while moving these priorities forward responsibly.

Occupation I’ve worked as a software engineer and consultant for over 25 years while also owning a small business in the medical field. My professional journey has taught me how to listen closely, think critically, and come up with practical solutions to problems.

Do you live in the ward? No; I reside in Ward 7. I’ve been proud to call Oakville home since 2017.

Previous political experience I’ve previously run for regional councillor as well as town councillor positions in Oakville-first in 2018 then again in 2022. Now I’m bringing that experience into my campaign for Ward 1. Additionally, I’ve engaged with local residents’ associations, seniors’ programs, community food charities, youth soccer teams, along with neighborhood family events.

If elected what will your priorities be?
            

My main goal is providing residents with an accountable voice at town hall-making sure that Oakville’s growth is aligned with our long-term interests.

I’ll prioritize improving traffic safety on our roads while ensuring developments are properly planned out so we can safeguard our parks, waterfronts, and heritage sites. I want us all supporting local businesses alongside vibrant community spaces.

I also believe it’s crucial that residents have access to their councillors who listen actively. If elected, being your councillor will be my full-time commitment. I want folks who live here feeling supported and protected while preparing our community ahead into tomorrow.
 Pierce Lang photo< p> < b> Pierce Lang</b></ p> < p> Occupation: I’m the owner of Apex Video-a small business I started back in 2020 that specializes in boutique video production aimed at websites and social media.</ p> < p> Do you live within this ward? No; I’m currently situated within Ward five having grown up here since age six. I’ve got deep roots firmly planted inside this beautiful Bronite Community! Moving away after college (like many young locals), yet returned once again during my thirties. Earlier this year my wife temporarily moved into nearby Ward five preparing ourselves ahead before buying our first home together- but we still plan on relocating back once ready! Family ties, career commitments, community connections-they’re all very much anchored right here-and it’s where we’ll establish our future together! Having spent nearly thirty years residing across various wards throughout Oakville-including most recently four years back living near Bronte Harbour-I feel deeply connected here.

< p class=" jpg"> Previous political background: While I haven’t held any office before now personally; my journalism career provided ample insight covering municipal politics plus interactions firsthand involving local governance issues through interviews regularly conducted featuring influential leaders like Mayor Rob Burton reporting directly onto challenges affecting everyday lives around us! Furthermore even helped out volunteering during Jeff Knoll’s re-election efforts four years ago too. If elected what shall become my focus areas? If chosen, my attention should concentrate mainly upon five key domains: responsible development concerns combined alongside securing overall neighborhood safety measures needed-in addition emphasizing recreation facilities modernizing initiatives geared towards catering everyone’s needs regardless age group while protecting precious water front areas too! Since being established already long term… Ward one requires meticulous planning around newly added structures ensuring they match existing infrastructures linked transportation pathways parking amenities available along quality service standards delivering effectively whenever possible! I’ll put efforts toward advocating safer neighborhoods collaborating actively between Halton Regional Police force partnered closely engaging communities locally enhancing security measures especially those surrounding beloved Bronite Harbor area! My aim would involve investing heavily into modern recreation amenities enhancing Sovereign park lawns efficiently revitalizing Lawson Park features improving Bronte athletic fields further exploring chances create suitable venues promoting intergenerational activity options including potential libraries built down line facilitating knowledge sharing exchanges providing great value collectively! Ultimately striving protect both charm essence unique character defining bronite village itself whilst simultaneously nurturing strong relationships fostering artistic endeavors thriving business partnerships enabling vibrant culture flourish-this approach fundamentally embodies respecting citizen perspectives utilizing factual evidence informing decisions made balancing growth demands against sustaining values people cherish calling home here forevermore.  (
