Hear what some of your neighbors have to say about implementing wards in New Brunswick.
Ward 1
"In my fifty years as a resident of New Brunswick, I've always found access to the city council difficult. I support a ward-based because it make our city council directly accountable to the residents."
Ward 2
"I looked at ward systems around the country and saw that people are more likely to trust and become involved in local government."
Ward 4
"Wards are the best way to ensure that our council representatives represent the interests of our neighborhoods."
Ward 5
"It's time to put the needs of our neighborhoods ahead of the profits of developers and power players. To do that, we need a ward-based city council."
Ward 6
"I support the Ward system because I believe that all people in a city should be equally represented. Right now I do not think the actual needs of the many new brunswick communities are being met. While we are one community, we are also many and we must remember those who are not benefitting from the current system. Real change can only happen if the local community is involved and feels connected to the political process by having a local representative that truly supports them."
