The Citizen asked candidates in the Oct. 24 municipal election to share their thoughts:

My name is Vilteau Delvas. I am a former police officer and I graduated with a degree in public administration from the University of Ottawa. I have also been a federal government employee at Transport Canada in the human resources department.

I also had the opportunity to provide “cultural approach” seminars to RCMP officers who were travelling to Haiti.

I have worked for the City of Ottawa as a personal support worker, which gave me the opportunity to work closely with seniors. I am now an entrepreneur and running my own business, called Bumblebee Motors Ltd., where I provide auto care.

Most recently, in the June 2022 provincial election, I ran for the Ontario Party.

Why I am running for this position?

• I am running because I believe that taxpayers deserve to know where, how and what their money is being used for.

• I am running because the cost of living keeps rising while wages remain the same.

• I am running because Ottawa, being the capital, should be an example for having better quality services for seniors, the homeless, and the health-care industry.

• I am running for better infrastructure, better road conditions, and more speed-limit signs in key areas.

• I am running to ensure our farmers are able to continue to produce locally grown food.

• I am running for better communities and to take a stand against gun violence.

• I am running for our police officers to be more pro-active on the streets, rather than reactive.

• I am running because I believe that parents should be able to have more say over their children’s education.

• I am running because I want the government to be more transparent about its spending.

• I am running because I am seeking to be your voice of choice.

My commitment towards College ward:

I pledge half of my salary to be used towards community programs for youths, feeding the homeless and for the children’s hospital.
