Campaign 2026 · Mayor of Halton Hills

A Georgetown that still feels like home — and works for everyone in it.

Ivan Bosnjak is running for Mayor of Halton Hills with a plan for sustainable growth, a thriving downtown, and a town hall that puts residents' tax dollars to work.

Meet Ivan

A neighbour first. A candidate because of it.

Moving to Halton Hills in 1989 was the start of a lifelong commitment for me. This is where I chose to build my life and raise my family because it is a community unlike any other. Over the years, I've dedicated my time to coaching youth sports, supporting local groups, and most recently to standing up as a voice at Council Meetings for both residents and businesses.

Before entering local politics, I spent my career in the fast-paced construction industry of Ontario. I began as a small business owner, then spent 13 years in Provincial Labour Relations, where I negotiated five province-wide collective bargaining agreements with contractors and developers — a skill that will be needed as Halton Hills grows. For the past four years I've worked as Director of Construction for two large-scale construction companies, each employing a few hundred people with budgets similar to that of the Town's.

These career experiences have given me the ability to manage budgets, create efficient schedules, and work with teams and customers toward a mutually beneficial outcome. I will bring that same approach to Town Hall, working with all stakeholders to ensure Halton Hills and its residents get the maximum return for the tax dollars they pay.

"My mission is simple: to work hard in order to preserve and improve everything that makes our community unique."

The Plan

What this campaign is actually about.

Six commitments, shaped by conversations with residents and businesses at Council meetings, on porches, and around town.

Housing

Growth that scales with our infrastructure

Managing rapid urban expansion and housing density is a critical priority. Strategic planning must scale community services and infrastructure to keep pace with growth — and development must proceed at a sustainable rate that keeps the Town financially stable.

Mobility

Real transportation options for kids and seniors

Halton Hills covers a large geographic area, which makes getting around a challenge. Mass transit isn't realistic given our funding and infrastructure today — so I'll work with Staff and Council on achievable, affordable ways to get kids to school and practice, and seniors to appointments, without putting it all on parents already facing long commutes.

Downtown

Main Street Acton and Downtown Georgetown

Diverting heavy truck traffic off Main Street in Acton needs to be a priority — it will improve accessibility, pedestrian safety, and the local business environment. In Downtown Georgetown, addressing the growing parking deficit is critical to keeping foot traffic — and local commerce — strong.

Budgets

Maximum return on every tax dollar

Government is responsible to its tax base for maximum returns on the dollars residents pay. Staff should deliver capital projects and community services with high standards of quality, efficiency, and fiscal responsibility — and I'll bring fresh perspective from my career managing budgets of a similar scale.

Environment

Protecting agricultural land and heritage

Recent changes at the federal, provincial, and regional level have deprioritized environmental and heritage protections. Halton Hills needs to use its own legislative authority for comprehensive zoning, and proactive enforcement of bylaws, to safeguard the agricultural land and heritage buildings that have defined our community for nearly two centuries.

Recreation

Indoor facilities built for our climate

Recreational services need to expand alongside our population — including indoor domed fields, pools, tracks, and courts for sports like basketball and pickleball. Relying on neighbouring municipalities for basic recreational infrastructure isn't sustainable; it sends revenue and jobs outside our borders that should stay in Halton Hills.
