“Where Neighbors Come First”
Meet Bashir
Bashir Ahmmed has spent years investing in this community — from supporting our local fire department to standing with families on the issues that shape daily life here in Melancthon.
He is running for Councillor because the decisions made at the council table belong to all of us: our water, our roads, our homes, and the rural way of life we want to protect. Bashir brings a steady, practical voice and a simple promise — to put neighbours first.
Committed to Community.

The Plan
Five clear commitments, grounded in what matters most to families and farmers across Melancthon.
Stop the proposed quarry that threatens Melancthon's water and health.
Committed to protecting Melancthon's water security and public health by using municipal zoning denials and coordinated legal strategies to block Strada Aggregates' proposed 200-foot-deep blast quarry.
Safer streets, calmer traffic, faster emergency response.
Enhancing local security, traffic calming, and emergency service responsiveness. Strong desire to increase safety on our streets and roads, protecting pedestrians, cyclists, and the vehicles that keep our families and towns moving.
Fair, reliable, well-maintained housing for every resident.
Ensuring fair, reliable, and properly maintained rental housing standards for all residents, so that families have safe and dependable places to call home.
Push higher levels of government and keep taxes accountable.
Pushing formal resolutions to higher tiers of government on inflation and the rising cost of living. Keeping property taxes fair through strict line-by-line audits of municipal spending, while expanding the commercial tax base to ease the burden on homeowners and farmers.
Review rules so families can use their own property.
Reviewing legislation around families being able to keep reasonable amenities on their own properties, such as backyard egg-laying chickens, with common-sense bylaws that respect rural life.
