📣 Your Voice Matters

The Saint John Ability Advisory Committee is asking residents to help shape the accessibility questions that will be sent to all Mayoral and Council candidates in the 2026 City of Saint John Municipal Election.

With 41.6% of Saint John residents reporting a disability, accessibility affects a huge portion of our community.

What issues should candidates be addressing?
Transit? Sidewalks? Public spaces? Communication access?

Tell us what matters most to you.

📝 We’ll review submissions and send six final questions to all candidates. Their responses will be published before advanced polls open May 2.

Poverty is a system failure, not an individual failure.

When families have stable housing, adequate incomes, and strong community supports, poverty declines.

Progress is possible — and necessary. It requires action.

Watch for HDC’s Child and Family Poverty Report: February 25.
