We’re about to know who will be our mayor for the next four years.
INDIE FM has reached out to all ten mayoral candidates for Milton in the upcoming 2026 Municipal Election. We are looking to discuss their platforms and some key topics affecting residents.
Each candidate will be asked the same questions, and the interviews are being done on a first-come, first-served basis.
Here is our interview with mayoral candidate, Arjun Joshi.
Q: Provide myself and the listeners a quick breakdown on your platform/campaign. Share an elevator pitch on why Miltonians should vote for you.
Q: Town Council approved the Official Plan this year. It projects Milton’s Growth all the way to 2051. Milton is famously one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, and has been so for 20-plus years. Where do you stand on Milton’s continued growth, when also considering the establish Official Plan?
Q: Let’s talking about job creation. A lot of people consider Milton to be a “bedroom community,” in that people live here but work elsewhere in the GTA. Do you have a plan to create more local work for Milton residents?
Q: And going from creating jobs to helping already existing local businesses. What’s your plan to support local, should you be voted in as mayor in the coming weeks?
Q: One of the things that Milton’s Council addressed in their final meetings was the potential of a data centre in the community. Considering the growth of artificial intelligence, but the negative impacts data centres tend to have on communities, what’s your stance on the potential of having a data centre in Milton?
Q: One of the first things this next council will be working on following the election is the 2027 Town Budget. Should you be voted in as mayor, what’s your plan to provide the services Miltonians want, while keep taxes low for those same residents?
Q: Is there anything else that you wanted to discuss that I haven’t asked about?
