VisionWR

VisionWR aims to bring together people and organizations across Waterloo Region to collaborate around mobilizing for the October 2026 municipal and regional elections. Together, we work to engage candidates and voters around our vision for caring, inclusive, and climate-safe communities. 

Through our collaboration with others, we have identified social and environmental priorities and asked what kind of regional and municipal policies are needed to advance them. Meanwhile, we seek to build democratic capacity by running workshops and events for candidates and voters, and by recruiting volunteers to join us in this work. 

VisionWR avoids endorsing specific candidates. At the same time, we hope our work will help voters and candidates who share our vision for the region connect with each other. Through those connections, local democracy can be strengthened, and we can elect regional and local councils committed to the policies that will make that vision a reality.
