Growth, Affordability, and Climate Action Can Work Together

8/30/2026

 
Practical Climate Action: Supporting climate goals with practical, affordable, measurable action.
  • I am pleased to share that I have signed ClimateActionWR’s 2026 Climate Candidate Pledge. You can read the pledge below.
  • I’m not especially interested in political labels, including being described as a “Climate Candidate.” What matters to me is the substance of the commitment.
  • I support Waterloo Region’s climate targets and believe municipalities have an important role to play in building a more sustainable and resilient community. I also believe climate action must be practical, effective, affordable and measurable, and integrated with responsible growth, infrastructure planning and economic development.
  • Signing this pledge does not mean giving up my responsibility to examine each issue on its merits. As a councillor, I would continue to evaluate individual proposals based on their effectiveness, cost, impact on residents and businesses, and whether they represent good municipal policy.
  • That is how I approach every issue: support the goal, examine the evidence, and make the decision that I believe is best for Cambridge and Ward 7.

GROWTH IS COMING. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS TO KEEP UP.

Growth is coming. The infrastructure needs to keep up.

If there is one thing that's obvious when you drive around Ward 7 and southeast Cambridge, it's that this part of our city is changing quickly.

New neighbourhoods are being built. A new joint school campus is taking shape on Wesley Boulevard. Right beside it, Cambridge is building a major new recreation complex that is expected to open in 2027.

That's exciting.

I believe Cambridge should grow, and I believe our city has enormous potential.

​But growth only works when the infrastructure keeps up.​

Vox Pop Labs Statement 1:
Cambridge should slow new development, even if doing so comes at the expense of its economic growth.
David's Position: Strongly disagree
Supporting Statement: Cambridge should welcome responsible development that strengthens our economy, creates jobs and expands our tax base. The answer is not to stop growth, but to manage it well by ensuring infrastructure, transportation and public services keep pace while protecting established neighbourhoods and building complete, connected communities.
