Her story
A new voice for growing Thorold and families.
Gurinder has spent her career in classrooms and learning spaces, helping students find confidence and a path forward. That work shapes how she approaches city hall: listen carefully, explain decisions plainly and measure success by whether people are actually better off.
As a mother raising a family in Thorold, she knows the dreams and the pressures our households carry — childcare that is hard to find, property taxes that climb faster than paycheques, and programs for kids that fill up in minutes. Those are not abstract files; they are kitchen-table conversations.
Thorold is growing quickly. Growth can either arrive with a plan or arrive on top of us. Gurinder is running to make sure the plan comes first: infrastructure that keeps pace, services that scale with new neighbourhoods and a council that publishes the reasoning behind every decision.
Open office hours in every part of the city, plain-language budget summaries before votes, and an answer to every resident who writes in. Council works best when residents can follow along without needing to read a 400-page agenda package.
Guiding values
Every dollar collected should work for you, and every decision should be explained in plain language.
Smart decisions today build a better tomorrow for the neighbours who live here now and those still arriving.
Invest in what matters most to our families: parks, recreation, safety and reliable city services.
Open, honest and answerable to you — with council decisions shared before they are made, not after.
