Get Involved
• On the Cost of Living & Grocery Prices
Families shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and buying food. While cities don’t control global prices, we can act locally:
• Support community food programs, urban agriculture, and local markets to increase access to affordable fresh food
• Reduce fees and barriers for small, local vendors so we’re not relying only on large chains like Loblaw Companies Limited and Sobeys, etc.
• Expand food security initiatives—community fridges, food hubs, and school nutrition programs
• Advocate to the Province of Ontario and federal partners for stronger action on price fairness and affordability
• On Healthcare
People are waiting too long for care, especially mental health and addiction services. As mayor, I will:
• Push for more local investment from the province to meet our growing needs and keep the Welland hospital open
• Support mobile clinics and community health hubs in underserved areas
• Work to attract healthcare workers by making our city more affordable and livable
• On Housing & Homelessness
Housing is the foundation of stability—and right now, too many are without it:
• Fast-track affordable and supportive housing developments
• Use a Housing First approach to help people move directly into stable housing
• Partner with non-profits and builders to increase supply without delay
• Focus on prevention—keeping people housed before they fall into crisis
Why me and why now?
Natashia is a community member, someone with a "people first" mindset who is a truly roots deep organization kind of woman. She is a grass roots candidate with an ability to see the bigger picture, addressing hard things, and never shying away from adversity. She knows what it's like for the people of Welland at the mercy of the system, and that's why this campaign matters so much to her. It isn't just about running for Mayor, it's about being able to make real changes.
