Walter Perdigao - Whitby Ward 4 - Local Councillor Candidate, Vanessa Place, Whitby, ON (2026)

I’m Walter Perdigao, running to be a practical voice for Whitby East Ward 4 - focused on careful spending, safer neighbourhoods, better communication, and services that deliver real value.

Did Durham Region really spend $1 million on a revolving door?

That claim has caused a lot of anger and confusion, and I understand why. A million dollars for a door sounds outrageous.

I reviewed the public records to look at what was actually included, how the project was funded, how the contractor was chosen, and what questions still haven’t been answered.

Accountability and clear communication are two of a councillor’s most important duties. My goal isn’t to defend Durham Region or attack anyone raising concerns. It’s to give residents the full picture, share my honest view, and help you make an informed decision for yourself.

After reading it, I’d really like to hear what you think. Did residents receive fair value, or should Durham Region have done more to explain and review this project?

At the doors in Ward 4, one issue keeps coming up: rising property taxes.

Residents are being squeezed by groceries, rent, mortgages, insurance, utilities, gas, and taxes. Town Hall can’t control all of that, but it can control the Town of Whitby portion of your property tax bill.

I’ll fight for a 0% increase for the next two years, and after that I won’t vote for an increase above the cost of living.

Tax increases should be a last resort, not a given.

Learn More About Walt:
This is the second of two short “About Walt” videos. The first video introduced who I am; this one takes a deeper look at why I’m running, what I’m hearing from residents, and how I would approach serving Whitby East Ward 4 as Local Councillor.

In this interview, I talk about the concerns I’ve heard at the doors, why many residents feel disconnected from Town Hall, and why local government needs to feel more practical, accessible, and connected to the people it serves.

Whitby East Ward 4 deserves respectful, local leadership that listens, does the homework, and focuses on the issues affecting residents day to day.
