Winnipeg Civic Elections 2022 Shaun Loney
October 26th, Winnipeg heads to the polls to elect its next mayor. Eleven candidates will be on the ballot with a vision of how they will lead Winnipeg for the next five years. Eight candidates have accepted our invitation to convey their plans and promises.
Civic Platform host, Zuher Almusre, sits down with Shaun Loney to learn more about him as a candidate and his platform.
Two years ago, Shaun Loney was volunteering to clean an abandoned homeless camp near his St. Boniface home when he realized a woman had been living in a hollowed tree. He knew then if he wanted to change things, he had to run for mayor.
Loney has promised to create a new position of nightlife mayor to help revitalize downtown Winnipeg and enhance the arts and cultural industries.
Loney has pledged to phase out Winnipeg's business tax and eventually fold it into commercial property taxes.
Loney has also promised to raise property taxes by 3.7 per cent next year to generate additional revenue for the city.
Loney says he also wants to charge a 25-cent daily fee on every commercial parking space in Winnipeg, like those outside malls, as part of an effort to deter the use of personal vehicles — though that pledge would require the province to amend legislation.
Loney says he would change parking meter charges to variable instead of fixed rates.
