About Us
Geoff Krauter has a plan to benefit both the residents of Stratford and our small businesses. His platform calls for the creation of Community Benefits Agreements which will provide the framework and identify community priorities for all major development applications.As a councillor, I would:
- Respect the Declaration of Climate Emergency by adding a climate lens to municipal policies.
- Explore a variety options to increase ridership on Stratford Transit.
- Work to sustain and improve inter-city transit links.
- Advocate for investment in quality non-profit housing.
- Oppose privatization of our health care and support the creation of a walk-in clinic for Stratford.
