ABOUT ME

Balraj Manhas is the father of two children who has been a resident of Ward 12 for twenty years. Manhas has a technical education background including a Polytechnic Diploma in Electrical Engineering as well as a diploma in Computer Applications. Alongside being continuously involved with over 200 meetings and presentations at the City Hall, Manhas is the secretary of the Indo-Canadian Liaison Committee of the Police Chief where he promotes the betterment of public and driver safety. He has presented issues on various communities at council committee meetings. Manhas believes that taxes need to be decreased and the main focus should be on the needs of the citizens of the community rather than municipal projects. Another target is to increase affordable and environmentally friendly transportation for the citizens by promoting that the city’s main priority should be to build the LRT. ​Balraj is a social worker who is dedicated to volunteering and has a passion for public services. 

MY AGENDA

I will work alongside the citizens of Ward 12 to improve public safety, local health services and quality of life in the municipal. I will aid in building more schools in areas that lack immediate education. In this current economic era, our local economic growth should be locally rooted and focused on growing in areas with a promise of sustainability. The skilled citizens of our community are the greatest assets to this achievement. To build a sustainable economy, investing in the quality of life for our citizens and making it easy to renovate existing, vacant spaces in our city’s core are the tools for economic success. Development of public services such as, transportation and recreational parks should be promoted. ​
