Fairness is Worth Fighting For

Why Ward 15 is our home

We choose Ward 15 for the country roads leading to farm stands and hidden trails. For the charm of our villages where a simple walk can lead to a café or bookstore and losing all track of time. For the natural beauty of Smokey Hollow or Mountsberg Conservation Area. For the sound of children playing outdoors. For the satisfaction of running a small business and looking out for our neighbours. Ward 15 is a treasure. We need to keep it that way.

About Me

I am Colleen Stewart. I am a wife, a mother, a business owner and an active member of Ward 15. 


In the time I have lived here, I have made connections through volunteering and being an active member of my church, through acting as parent officer and Chair of my son’s School Council and engaging in neighbourhood activism when the garbage on our streets got out of control. 


As a skilled communicator and facilitator, I listen, remember what was said, and connect people and ideas. I have a history of speaking out when something is not right. I am willing to be the one who stands up where others can’t.

Why I'm Running

I love where I live and it pains me to see something wonderful fraying at the edges. 

Ward 15 is one of the most desirable places to live in the City of Hamilton. Yet most residents feel overtaxed and overlooked. We see our tax dollars going to solve problems in downtown Hamilton, problems that have nothing to do with life in Ward 15. 


We see it every day:

  • Roads and infrastructure not keeping up
  • Stalled construction and neglected spaces
  • Limited police presence and public safety concerns
  • A lack of investment in recreation, parks, and services for families


This isn’t about asking for more than our share. It’s about finally getting our fair share. 


Tell me your concerns and I will bring them to City Hall.

What I'm Fighting For

I will work hard to get our property taxes under control

  • Perform a complete review of the City Budget to find wasteful spending
  • Focus on essential services, necessary infrastructure, and required social spending
  • Cut onerous red tape to attract and facilitate commercial development 


Our Communities will thrive when we:

  • Ensure efficient emergency services 
  • Increase police presence to protect our property and keep our roads safe
  • Fix our roads, finish our sidewalks and build our playgrounds in a timely manner


Our Residents will thrive when we:

  • Provide affordable services at a Community Recreation Centre in an accessible location
  • Maintain the character of our communities and think of our residents when planning for growth
  • Rezone available areas for businesses that will bring high-paying jobs to our doorstep

Proven Community Action

I don’t just talk about community. I work for it.


  • Long term volunteer at an Ontario food bank and mission
  • Served 4 years on School Council, including 1 year as Chair
  • Known for tackling difficult issues and bringing energy to important projects
  • Successfully advocated for a local high school to introduce community clean-up days
  • Regularly volunteer time to clean litter and improve our neighbourhood spaces
  • Active in my church community, where I’m known for stepping up, bringing people together, and contributing wherever needed


Leadership starts with action, and I believe in doing the work.

Values & Leadership

My faith is the core of who I am. It guides how I treat people: with honesty, humility, and respect.


I believe in:

  • Taking responsibility and admitting mistakes
  • Listening first, then acting
  • Standing up when something isn’t right
  • Bringing people together to solve problems


I will fight for everyone in this Ward, regardless of personal politics or who they voted for.
