Wards for Niagara Falls Ontario

I absolutely support this petition. I lived in the downtown area and saw how neglected certain areas of the falls are compared to "wealthier" areas.

Yes

Ward System pls

Niagara Falls is the largest city still using the at large system At large was practivable in small villages were everybody knew everybody and selecting 4 or 5 people to run things made sense. All candisate meetings cannot be held with some 30 people running. With wards, voters can get to see and choose from the 5 or 6 people running.

The ward system makes sense for Niagara Falls for so many reasons. It will simplify communicating concerns residents have and help address specific issues certain areas have. Make councillors more accountable. Bring Niagara Falls in line with the vast majority of other towns and cities. Make campaigning less of a challenge for new candidates. An online petition is an excellent idea and hopefully this will highlight the dissatisfaction with the present system.

I know of no expert on municipal governance who recommends at-large election of Councillors in a city of 100,000 population. A ward system is not perfect either, but for a city as large as Niagara Falls, it is the preferred alternative.

A Ward System will be more representative of Niagara Falls communities and residents.

I am for wards.

Lets start toWARDS!

It's crazy to me that in a city the size of Niagara Falls, that we rely on a system of electors that is really just about name recognition. Different parts of the city have different needs and ought to be represented.

I’m tired of nothing being taken care off under our current system. No one takes responsibility.

This city is too big to have an at large system. Bring back the ward system

NIAGARA NEEDS A WARD SYSTEM TO REPRESENT EACH AREA OF THE REGION!

I'm all for it!

I think this way, each neighbor will be represented by someone who lives in area..

The city has grown too large to.continue at-large.

I would be interested to volunteer!
