Kevin McCann: A Vision for Ward 3, Saint John

Kevin McCann's roots in Saint John run deep. A proud alumnus of St. Malachy's High School, McCann has cultivated a diverse professional background across North America, serving over 35 years in senior executive roles.

After years away, McCann has returned to his hometown to care for his ailing mother and currently contributes his skills at Loch Lomond Villa, Inc.

 

As a father of four and a grandfather of two, McCann is deeply committed to the welfare of his community, a commitment reflected in his candidacy for Ward 3's council seat.

Three Fixes for Ward 3's Future

1. Addressing Affordable Housing

In Saint John, the struggle to afford basic necessities such as food, medication, and housing is a stark reality for many. McCann is tackling this challenge head-on by proposing the creation of a working committee alongside MLA David Hickey. This initiative aims to foster long-term, sustainable, and affordable housing solutions through collaboration with NB Housing, ensuring all residents have access to the shelter they deserve.

 

2. Homelessness and Escalating Utility Costs

McCann recognizes that homelessness in Saint John is not solely a consequence of addiction but often stems from the prohibitive cost of living. In response, he plans to address the surging electric heating rates that exacerbate residents' financial burdens, particularly during the harsh winter months. His strategy includes integrating manageable utility costs into broader housing affordability measures.

 

3. Enhancing Public Transit and City Services

Public transit is a lifeline for many in Ward 3, especially newcomers, students, and seniors. McCann is advocating for significant improvements in transit accessibility and safety measures for drivers working late shifts. Moreover, he champions equitable city services, such as effective snow removal, ensuring that all citizens receive consistent support regardless of their neighbourhood.

 

Kevin McCann's vision for Ward 3 is built on a foundation of experience, empathy, and a strategic approach to governance. His campaign promises to not only address the pressing issues of today but also to lay down the groundwork for a thriving, inclusive future for all of Saint John.
