| Gelder, Rich | Yes | Hamilton should most assuredly be attempting to attract young people to the city. Although the city can't really affect the programming at places like McMaster, Mohawk and Redeemer, which is outstanding, we can still prioritize affordable, dense housing and high order transit for young people, more of whom are eschewing private car ownership. This means LRT. This means the BLAST network. This means a return to the Ten-Year Transit Plan. |
| Mitchell, Pamela | N/A | Declined to answer |
| Vanderbeek, Arlene | Yes | Yes, young people are the future of this City. Focusing on transit, infrastructure and affordable housing must be a priority of Council. |
