Bruno’s dynamic leadership has been instrumental in galvanizing local communities to take a stand for their future. Through his coordination of impactful rallies, Stop the Sprawl Halton united various local groups to challenge development plans, ultimately influencing the ruling of ROPA 49—the regional official plan that would have allowed unchecked sprawl. Similarly, his tireless work with Hands Off the Greenbelt mobilized community support and successfully reversed a provincial bill that threatened the protection of our vital Greenbelt. Furthermore, his steadfast advocacy against Highway 413 has significantly slowed the project’s progress, reflecting the community’s resounding opposition to a highway that no one wants. Together, these efforts demonstrate Bruno’s commitment to grassroots activism and his ability to transform local voices into real policy outcomes.

Campaign Progress
Signatures (100-115)
To appear as a Green candidate, Bruno needs verified signatures from eligible voters in Oakville East by April 7. This is the most urgent priority — without it, the campaign ends before it starts. Elections Canada recommends collecting 115 to ensure a minimum of 100.
Volunteers (5-30)
No campaign can run without the local dedicated support of volunteers. For a full campaign, I need at least 30 to ensure we have a strong and robust team for the campaign. The minimum for a light or predominantly digital campaign is 5 volunteers.
Fundraising ($1,500K-$8,000K)
Money makes the world go round. A full campaign needs to raise $8,000 in funding. We can not buy signs, postcards, door hangers, and services vital to the campaign, like postal delivery, content sponsorship, and paid political advertising. To run a minimum or light campaign, the campaign will benefit from funding of around $500-$1,500.
