Jen Zhou

As a CPA, CGA with more than two decades of finance and business experience, I know how to read a budget, challenge assumptions, assess risk and ask whether spending is actually delivering results.

Oakville is where my family has built our life and where I have spent years volunteering, supporting local organizations and bringing people together.

Jen's view on the Oakville Midtown issue — the Province's plan allows towers, and growth needs a clear plan with public answers and quality of life protected.

Protect low-rise residential streets from incompatible height, massing and density, while directing major intensification to appropriate designated growth areas.

I will scrutinize development applications for height, density, traffic, infrastructure, stormwater capacity, parks and transitions to existing homes — and oppose applications that fail those tests where Council has the authority to do so.

Prioritize core services, challenge unnecessary spending and measure results before asking residents to pay more.

Focus on speeding, cut-through traffic and pedestrian safety on Ward 3 streets, with transparent follow-up on identified problem locations rather than one-size-fits-all measures.

Address break-ins, auto theft, traffic safety and neighbourhood security through stronger coordination with Halton Police and practical municipal safety measures.

Protect Ward 3's parks, mature tree canopy, waterfront access and green space as growth occurs.

I'm not running to make bigger promises. I'm running to ask better questions, make sound decisions and get results for Ward 3.
