Here's who's running for mayor and regional chair in Waterloo region
CBC
Residents of Waterloo region, here are your options.
With the deadline for municipal election candidates to file their nomination papers having passed last Friday, we're a step closer to learning who will represent you at city council next term.
As you consider how to cast your ballot in the Oct. 24 vote, here's a look at who's running for office in the Region of Waterloo and the cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.
Running for office can be daunting for first-time candidates. Access barriers may be even higher if the candidate is a visible minority.
Some local campaign schools are hoping to change that by giving diverse candidates the leg up they need to be able to run for office.
Tapiwa Ziyenge is a program co-ordinator at one of the local campaign schools, called Run 4 Office Waterloo Region.
He said it is important for diverse community leaders to be proactive about running for council.
"If you are not on the table, most likely, you're on the menu," said Ziyenge. "There are a lot of decisions made in boardrooms where most of us are not there. So once the decisions are made and the bylaws are created and announced, all we can do is protest."
Ziyenge said it is disappointing to see the lack of diversity on council right now.
"All you gotta do is go to their website and see their pictures they have that shows regional council representatives for the whole region. It's very disappointing when you look at the number of other visible minorities that they represent. You have to start asking yourself why those numbers are not reflected in the representation itself."
