| Flag motion - to permit flying only official government flags on municipal property (no special-interest flags) Council vote to permit flying only official government flags (federal, provincial, and/or municipal) on municipal buildings and property, thus prohibiting the flying of controversial, divisive and special-interest group flags which may be politically or ideologically-loaded in a manner that serves to arouse divisions among citizens, instead of unity (e.g. the Homosexual or Transgenderism Pride flags). |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by John Scholten on 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not yet sent |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | survey not yet sent |
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw? | survey not yet sent |
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions, and increasingly, are involved in dispensing the chemical abortion pill. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality? | survey not yet sent |
