Our Roads Can't Keep Up
I will fight for widened roads on Prince of Wales and Greenbank. Faster pothole repair. Community Safety Zones near every school — Ward 24 has zero new after four years.

Better Barrhaven East
Yoosaf for Better Barrhaven East
Candidate for City Councillor, Ward 24Barrhaven East is home to 55,000+ residents — growing families, newcomers, seniors, and young people who deserve a councillor who makes city hall easier to navigate, safer to live in, and more focused on local results. Practical fixes for the roads, transit, safety, and community life Barrhaven East deserves — no more four years of “discussions.” No more waiting.
The First Five for Barrhaven East
Pulled straight from the full platform — the five things I'll push hardest for, starting day one.
A Youth Centre in Barrhaven East
I will fight for a dedicated youth centre for ages 12–18. Right now the nearest drop-in space is 40 minutes away by transit — not good enough for 2,176+ young people here.
Seniors Are a Vital Part of This Community
I will fight for $5,000 a month from my office budget dedicated to seniors' programming — coffee mornings, walking clubs, and real connection.
The Bus Never Comes on Time
I will fight for a full overhaul of OC Transpo's route planning — led by the riders and operators who actually use these routes every day.
Your Councillor, Reporting Back
Monthly updates. Coffee meetings. An office in Barrhaven East itself. Real conversations — from me, not a staffer's newsletter.
I'm Listening
I want to hear from you.
Tell me what's working, what isn't, and what you want to see change in Barrhaven East. This campaign is built on real conversations at real doors — not a staffer's newsletter.
Tell Me What You Think →This is just five. There are sixteen.
Every fight above comes straight out of a full, sixteen-point plan for Ward 24 — covering everything from flood protection along the Jock River to fixing residential parking rules, from safer cycling routes to a real plan for hospital access. If you want to know exactly what I'll push for on every issue that touches your daily life in Barrhaven East, don't take five bullet points on faith.
