On October 24th there will be a municipal election in the province of Ontario. Mayoral candidates from all across the GTA have been providing insight into their campaigns. Below you will find details on each mayoral candidate for Markham, Stouffville, East Gwillimbury & Uxbridge. Highlighted in red are areas that directly affect real estate in each of the communities.
Don Hamilton
“Working Together for a Better Markham!” was the slogan for my Regional Councillor campaign in 2018. However I believe it’s time for a change in leadership at the City of Markham and that’s why I am running for the position of Mayor. Together we really can make Markham better.”
Frank Scarpitti
“I truly enjoy public service, and the opportunity to shape Markham and its future. I have driven our success on having the lowest average tax increases in the GTA for the past 17 years. I also have been leading the charge for major investments that will put Markham on the map. I demonstrated consistent leadership during some challenging and unsettling times, and the truth of the matter is there’s still ongoing impacts that will require solid leadership and experience.”
Anande Date
“ I said I would need three terms to turn our municipality from good to great, after a disastrous 2014 to 2018. One term has already been lost, so I have my work cut out for me! I also made a promise to my daughter to help the residents of WS.”
What are your top three issues?
Iain Lovatt
“For the past four years, I have worked tirelessly to rebuild the town’s reputation in the region and the province. Under my leadership, with a unified council, we have implemented the town’s strategic plan with great results, all while leading through an unprecedented global pandemic.”
What are your top three issues?
Mark Caroll
My vision for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville is for more resilient and affordable development, healthy and inclusive communities, preservation of our natural environment, policies that will see our communities grow in a sustainable manner and an open and honest council with strong principles and proper leadership accountable to the residents.

Justin Altman
“I have always enjoyed participating and being a conduit to introducing residents of our town to activities that bring people together and embrace every aspect of our community that supports, shares and partners with our residents and businesses. With the greater community, we raised $140,000 to build a mobile accessible washroom, relocated the Food Bank, traveled to Africa for the Igoma partnership, and approved the raising of the Pride flag.”
John Haddock
“I believe in accountability, in freezing taxes for homeowners just like you, focusing on helping businesses thrive in Uxbridge. Bringing fiscal responsibility as well as added services so families in Uxbridge can stay in Uxbridge.”
Zed Pickering
“Ward 3 needs a representative who will listen to your concerns, be a strong voice on council and has a reputation for getting things done in our community. Decisions made at the municipal council have direct impact on residents’ daily lives. I want to invest my time in the community I love.”
Virgina Hackson
“I want to finish what we have started and see the completion of projects that have commenced this past term. Specifically, the opening of our Health & Active Living Plaza, including our first aquatics center, library and program rooms. Working in the recreation field for more than 28 years, I know how important this facility will be to our residents.”
James Young
It’s time for a change in leadership. I have the experience and knowledge required to carry out the responsibilities of mayor. I truly feel this community is being driven by the development industry. Growth should be for the betterment of our community, not lead to its detriment.
