About Me Priorities Accomplishments Voter Resources Contact Me Donate

I’m Vincent Cinanni, your City Councillor for Williamsville, and I’m running for re-election. I would be honoured for the opportunity to continue to serve as your Councillor.

My wife Julie, my son Tony and I have called Williamsville District home for 20 years where I volunteer and take part in neighbourhood events and activities. I am fluent in English and French and I earn my living as a Senior Web Developer at a locally run IT company where I have worked for the past 27 years.

I’m eager to continue working for you to advance the things that matter to us most: protecting our public spaces and parks, making our neighbourhoods safer, improving pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, investing in affordable housing and supports, and much more. I am proud to serve my community and love what I do.

Thank you for having put your trust in me these past few years. I hope to earn your support so that I can continue to work hard for our wonderful neighbourhood and community.
