Keep Guelph
Beautiful,
Affordable,
and Safe.

Evan Silva has spent over a decade leading groups through Ontario's backcountry — reading conditions, managing risk, and making decisions that keep people safe. That same instinct for clear-eyed leadership is what Ward 1 needs on City Council.

As a teacher, Evan sees the real stakes of local policy every day — in the pressures on families who can't keep up with rising costs, in the students who deserve a city that invests in their future. He understands what an 8.5% tax increase actually means, because he lives it too.

When Evan discovered that 32 acres of prime Ward 1 land had sat vacant for over a decade, he knew it was time to stop waiting for someone else to act. Ward 1 deserves a councillor who shows up — and that's exactly what he intends to be. As a teacher, Evan sees every day what's at stake for the next generation — the parks they'll grow up in, the housing they'll be able to afford, the city they'll inherit.
