Andrea Bowden
Candidate for Ward 4 Councillor — 2026 County of Brant Municipal Election
About Andrea Bowden
I’ve been an active advocate for Ward 4 and County residents since 2012 when a rezoning application appeared in our neighbourhood. I stood up at Council against a table full of lawyers – to help residents keep a proposed park space and open space zoning instead of allowing one more house = one more County residential tax source. That moment began my hands on involvement in local issues and it never stopped.
- 14 years speaking as an unpaid delegation at County meetings, long before this election
- reviewing public records
- filing foi’s (Freedom of information requests)
- raising concerns about land use, spending, infrastructure 1st, and rural impacts.
- past experience includes:
- subdivision assumption,
- bringing solutions to safety and infrastructure issues
- challenging staff recommendations
- exposing incompatible land proposals,
- flagging road & drainage problems
- advocating for all 15 Brant rural bridges identified for closure or repurpose
- advocating for safe neighbourhoods & safe & reliable transportation projects within
- I have been active on engagebrant.ca over the years when allowed to participate and raised strong concerns about budgets and the County’s affordable housing plan, when results showed only 13-15 units were built
- contacted MP’s, MPP’s, Premier, council members, Ministry personnel repeatedly to try to instill change in policies, bills and bylaws
