We're a city founded on barnraising and innovation.
Waterloo is a special city in Canada. It has been an enterprising community since its inception — from its agricultural roots through its industrial rise, insurance industry dominance, high-tech leadership and world-class universities and colleges.
But it's not enough. Waterloo needs new leadership to maximize its potential and provide its residents with the service, opportunities and value they deserve.
Jeyas is the leader to do this. He shows up, he listens and he builds bridges to solve problems.
“I'm not a career politician, a tech guru or a civil engineer. I'm a leader — one who will harness the expertise of all of them, and who loves this city.”
