Cindy Ward’s Priority Issues

Providing opportunities, matched with appropriate supports

can make a world of difference for people trying to better their lives, she said. Knowing full well the challenges in launching and growing a small business, Ward said she’d like to see more investment opportunities, training and support for entrepreneurs.

With a background in community and social psychology, Ward said she’d bring academic research and evidence-based planning to bear on issues such as homelessness and affordability. “One of the things that governments get stuck in is the same old way,” she said. “There’s often a fear of trying new and creative and out-of-the-box approaches.”
