Ward 5 - Waterloo City Council

Elect Andrew Portwine for Ward 5

With over 20 years of experience managing complex municipal services, infrastructure projects, and multi-million dollar public budgets, I’ve spent my career focusing on practical, data-driven solutions that make local government work better for residents. My goal has always been simple: deliver efficient, transparent and accountable service to our community.

I understand how municipal decisions directly impact our neighbourhoods and your quality of life. As your Ward 5 representative, I would be committed to fiscal responsibility, smart growth, green space preservation and ensuring your voice is heard at City Hall.

Let’s build a stronger, more connected community together.
