Citing affordability as a key issue, Trihenea would conduct an efficiency review at city hall to ensure residents are getting good value for their tax dollars. He pointed to regional government’s “reactive” response to the water capacity crisis as an example. “I feel that it’s costing us more right now … We could have taken a more proactive approach.” He vowed to bring more transparency and accountability to municipal decision-making. “If I were to be mayor, I’d own my mistakes.”
By constructive dialogue with our police services and the Muslim community. As a non incumbent mayor my goal is to listen, understand the issues that are most important to the community and work with the police services on best practices to better serve the community.
I am looking forward to meeting with community leaders to better understand stand how to best address safety issues. Everyone should feel welcome and safe in Kitchener. That is my goal!
Islamophobia has no place in Kitchener. I will partner with the Centre for Mutual Wellbeing’s Anti-Hate Services, train city staff, enforce bylaws against harassment, improve reporting with police, support January 29 remembrance, and back prevention programs so Muslim residents can live, work, and worship safely.
By identifying the community leaders and giving them direct access to me. I would work closely with each leader on each issue deemed important. I am all about communication and making myself accessable to all kitchener residents.
Again, as a non incumbent dialogue between leaders within the Muslim organizations and services is a main priority for me.
The City should treat all places of worship the same under zoning rules. At the same time, it can allow flexibility for different needs—like parking, traffic, or busy times—through early talks with staff and small adjustments. Neighbourhood concerns about noise or parking should be handled fairly, without blocking projects because of religion.
As a father I stand with the Palestinian people and will advocate for a free Palestine.
