Our family has been involved with public service for as long as I can remember. My wife and I have instilled these qualities in our children. With our children now established in their careers in Finance and Medicine, it’s my time to give back and put my experience, energy, and commitment to work for you and our community.
As Ward 7 rapidly grows we need to focus on a balanced development, keeping public safety - especially speeding and theft, a top priority. We need to work together as a community to improve our Ward.
Being experienced in the management and finance sectors, I will ensure to negotiate contracts, and balance books in good faith. Over the years I have continued to improve my skills by utilizing my spare time enrolled in Paralegal studies to get a better understanding of contract law, and conduct legal research to analyze and summarize documents. I will use my skill set to fact check and review contracts, and find solutions to improve and eliminate inefficiencies.
My priorities are straightforward:
-
Responsible and well-planned growth
-
Transparency and accountability at Town and Regional Council
-
Responsible stewardship of taxpayers' money
-
Safer, better-connected neighbourhoods
-
Practical transportation and public transit solutions
-
Effective emergency access and essential services
-
Thoughtful infrastructure planning & appropriate development
-
Meaningful communication and engagement with residents
I will not promise that every problem can be solved overnight, but I can promise to listen, examine the facts, work constructively and collaboratively with Council, staff, residents and other levels of government, and be honest about what can and cannot be accomplished.
I am not asking for your support based on slogans or promises that cannot be kept. I am asking for the opportunity to earn your trust through ethical leadership, responsible stewardship, transparency, respect, and accountability.
Most importantly, I will stand up for the services our community needs and for the responsible use of your hard-earned tax dollars—so that residents receive meaningful value in return.
If you believe our community deserves greater transparency, accountability, and a strong voice at Town and Regional Council, I humbly ask you to stand with me.
I cannot do this alone. I need your support, your ideas, your encouragement, and your voice.
The future of Oakville & Ward 7 belongs to all of us. Together, we can help shape a community that continues to be a place we are proud to call home.
On Monday, October 26th I want to be your Regional and Town Councillor!
Respectfully,
Ajay

MY VISION
BUILD A SAFE, CLEAN & STRONGER COMMUNITY
Tackle crime, home invasions and auto theft. Increase police visibility, neighbourhood patrols and safety measures around schools and high-risk areas.
FOCUS ON ROAD SAFETY & TRAFFIC ISSUES
Combat speeding and reckless driving. Expand traffic calming, strengthen e-scooter enforcement, improve parking and add pedestrian crossovers.
PROTECT LIVABILITY & PLAN RESPONSIBLY
Say "NO" to AI data centres in Ward 7. Protect green spaces, trees and our Natural Heritage System. Promote smart future growth, better school capacity and safer bike infrastructure. Defend against inappropriate developments.
SMART BUDGETING & DELIVERING VALUE
Eliminate unnecessary spending, strengthen accountability and make every tax dollar count. Keep tax increases aligned with the cost of living, negotiate better contracts and support local economic growth.
IMPROVE PUBLIC TRANSIT CONNECTIVITY
Expand reliable, accessible transit routes across North Oakville and improve connections between underserved neighbourhoods, transit routes and GO Stations.
ENHANCE COMMUNITY SERVICES
Make winter safer, including advocating for windrow snow removal. Ensure timely maintenance of streets, parks, trails, trees and public spaces. Advocate for lower development charges.
A COUNCILLOR WHO LISTENS & DELIVERS
Be accessible, responsive and accountable. Residents should not have to chase their Councillor for answers. Listen, respond and follow through—and bring Ward 7 together through community events.
-
Ward 7 has been our family’s home for over fourteen years, and I’m very passionate about uniting the community through initiatives such as annual Earth Week cleanups.
-
I will provide a non-partisan and no-nonsense voice of reason at council that reflects the views of our community.
-
I’m a hands on individual — I will be there when and where my constituents need me
-
Our ward has a wealth of diversity that should be celebrated. Decisions for our ward should be made in consultation with principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion — which I will do.
-
With a rapidly growing ward, I will liaise between council members, local MPPs, and our school trustee to ensure that our educational facilities match this growth.
-
Green spaces are critical for healthy communities. We must preserve and protect the natural greenery that has been gradually diminishing from Ward 7 by advocating for sustainable development.
-
Evidence continually shows that community engagement is beneficial to the physical and mental health of senior citizens. I will push for networking and well-being programs for seniors within our community to be made a priority at the developing community centre.
-
Winter shouldn’t leave residents struggling with heavy windrows blocking their driveways. I will advocate for improved snow clearing across Ward 7, including windrow snow removal, with a focus on keeping residential streets, sidewalks and key routes safe, accessible and timely clearing.
-
Address traffic issues and enhance road safety, as I understand the pain of sitting in clogged traffic with unsynchronized traffic lights at intersections.
