Mehmood Kohistani

A Fresh Voice for Whitby

I’m running for Whitby Ward 2 Councillor because local government should listen first, act with purpose, and put residents at the centre of every decision.

  • Keep costs down
  • Smarter planning
  • Better roads

Clear priorities for a growing West Whitby community.

Keep Costs Down

Practical decisions that help residents and families manage the rising cost of living.

Responsible growth supported by the roads, infrastructure, parks, and services our community needs.

Better Roads

Smarter transportation planning, safer streets, and action on traffic congestion.

Meet Mehmood Kohistani

A councillor who listens, stays accessible, and puts the community first.

Whitby has been my home for many years. I have built my career in business, public policy, and community service, but my greatest passion has always been giving back to the community that has given so much to me.

As our town continues to grow, residents deserve responsible growth, affordability, support for local businesses, better traffic and infrastructure, and a meaningful voice at Town Hall.

When something is broken, we fix it.

When taxes rise, life becomes less affordable, and people feel ignored, isolated, and left behind, it is time to try a different approach.

Priorities for Whitby

Six practical priorities drawn from conversations with residents and the campaign flyer.

Lower living costs

Put people first and make life more affordable for residents and families.

More programs

Get our community outside with more programs, activities, and welcoming public spaces.

Fix traffic

Plan growth better and improve the roads and infrastructure West Whitby relies on.

Safer parks

Improve park safety and support better wildlife management, including concerns about coyotes.

Your taxes, your voice

Create more opportunities for meaningful public input before major decisions are made.

Give back to Whitby

Big corporations that profit from Whitby should contribute fairly to the community.
