In preparation for the upcoming 2026 Municipal Elections, we asked candidates running in all municipalities in Windsor-Essex a series of questions designed to gather insights into their platform and individual climate change and sustainability policies for the Windsor-Essex region.

The intent is to empower Windsor-Essex voters to evaluate the feasibility and impact of candidate strategies, ensuring that our region continues to advance robust, sustainable practices in line with municipal and national commitments.  

Below are the responses from candidates who responded. They have been sorted by Municipality and Ward/Position.
