A focused community forum on housing affordability in Ward 4. Hear from local experts, ask questions, and help shape Deven's housing platform.
After months of community consultations, Deven Sandhu has officially filed nomination papers and launched his campaign for Ward 4 City Council. "Ward 4 deserves a councillor who shows up, listens, and delivers," said Sandhu at the launch event attended by over 200 supporters.
Deven Sandhu unveiled a six-point affordable housing plan for Ward 4, calling for inclusionary zoning, stronger tenant protections, and faster permit approvals for affordable developments. The plan was developed in consultation with local housing advocates and residents.
Dev is an individual committed to an inclusive community for all. He has demonstrated his commitment to our city and its residents, demonstrated by his exemplary service as Chair, Board of Trustees Vaughan Public Libraries. He has chosen to run for council representation. His presence at that level would be an amazing benefit to the businesses and citizens of Vaughan. — Gary Thompson, Order of Vaughan Recipient and former Chair of Community Relations Committee, City of Vaughan and former Vice-Chair/Trustee of Vaughan Public Library Board.
Having had the privilege of serving as a Vaughan Councillor for 18 years, I understand the qualities, commitment, and dedication required to effectively represent residents at City Hall. I believe Deven Sandhu would be an outstanding representative for the residents of Ward 4 on Vaughan Council. Deven brings intelligence, integrity, compassion, and a thoughtful, solutions-oriented approach to important municipal issues. For many years, he has consistently stepped forward to volunteer his time and leadership in service to our community. His experience, including serving as Chair of the Vaughan Public Library Board, has given him valuable knowledge of municipal governance and the needs of a growing and diverse city. Most importantly, Deven understands something fundamental about public service: a councillor's first responsibility is to listen to residents, respond promptly to their concerns, and work tirelessly to find practical solutions. Deven has the experience, judgement, and genuine commitment to community that Ward 4 deserves. I am confident he will be a strong and effective voice for residents at Vaughan Council. I strongly endorse Deven Sandhu and urge the residents of Ward 4 to support him for Vaughan Council. — Alan Shefman, Former Ward 5 Councillor, City of Vaughan
