From their campaign site

Captured 2026-08-23 from https://akbik.ca/. These are the candidate's own words on their own site, not a summary written here. Campaign sites change; this is what it said on that date.

Where else they post

Accounts linked from the candidate's own website or filed with the Clerk. Nothing here was found by searching for their name: guessing at an account and attaching it to a real person is a mistake worth avoiding entirely. These are links out, not content read or quoted here.

Their answers
No questionnaire response.

Invited 2026-08-24. No response received. Every candidate is asked the same questions, and a candidate who does not answer is marked, never omitted.

What their campaign site says

This is not an answer to the questionnaire. It is what their own website says on each theme, with the sentence it came from. A candidate writing that they care about traffic has not thereby said whether they would raise the transit budget, so nothing here is treated as a position on a question they were not asked. Every quotation was checked against the page it is attributed to.

Infrastructure, Taxes & Fiscal Management

The candidate aims to shield homeowners from tax hikes by implementing a "Growth Pays for Growth" model that maximizes development charges on corporate developers.

In their words: “I will shield homeowners from massive property tax hikes by implementing a strict "Growth Pays for Growth" model, maximizing development charges on corporate developers to fund new infrastructure instead of local families.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23

Leadership, Governance & Trust

The candidate emphasizes a leadership style based on transparency, listening to residents first, and delivering measurable progress through fact-based decision-making.

In their words: “I want to listen first, lead with facts, and make sure residents see measurable progress.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23

Growth & the New Official Plan

The candidate proposes preventing unchecked urban sprawl by mandating mixed-use zoning that requires new developments to include local retail, clinics, and walkable trails.

In their words: “I will prevent unchecked urban sprawl by mandating mixed-use zoning, legally requiring new developments to include local retail shops, medical clinics, pharmacies, and walkable trails directly in their blueprints.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23

Housing Supply & Affordability

The campaign prioritizes housing affordability as a core practical action and notes that policy details on responsible growth and attainable options are forthcoming.

In their words: “This campaign is focused on practical action: housing affordability, safer roads, stronger local businesses, youth programs, and better local job opportunities.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23

Community Services Keeping Pace

The candidate intends to advocate for the concurrent construction of new community centers and youth recreational spaces alongside new housing developments.

In their words: “I will advocate that new community centers and youth recreational spaces be built concurrently with new housing, giving our youth constructive, healthy places to grow right in their neighborhoods.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23

Transit & Transportation

The candidate plans to secure a new GO Station, push for all-day two-way rail service, optimize local transit routes, and advocate for the addition of bus lanes.

In their words: “I will fight gridlock by securing the new Agerton GO Station and pushing Metrolinx for true all-day, two-way rail service, while optimizing Milton Transit routes to connect new neighborhoods to major hubs during peak hours.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23

Side by side

For each theme: what the candidate answered, what their own website says, and what the council record shows if they have sat on Council. The three are set beside each other and left there. Nothing is scored, and no conclusion is drawn on the reader's behalf.

No questionnaire answers yet. Until they arrive this shows only their website and, for sitting members, their record.

In the news
No coverage found that names them.

This searches a named set of local news feeds for their full name, or their title and surname together. A bare surname is never matched, so coverage that only says “the councillor” does not appear here, and neither does anything the feeds do not carry.

What this page is not

This is a record of what the Town certified and what the candidate publishes themselves. It contains no rating, ranking or endorsement, and no assessment of any candidate. Corrections are welcome and acted on within 48 hours — see the methodology page.
