Municipalities & Local Service Districts

“For All of Us”

The PCs earned just enough seats to form a majority government in a stunning upset during the 2025 general election on Oct. 14, 2025.

While earning 21 of 40 seats in the house of Assembly, the party only had the support of 44.5 per cent of voters, which means it is governing a population most of which did not vote for it. This is the result of our problematic first-past-the-post electoral system. 

Regardless, the PCs have made many promises that could improve the quality of life for many in our province.

The Independent has created this page as a space for journalists and the public to track the promises the PCs made before and during the election campaign, as well as any it makes after the election.

If you notice a promise we’ve missed, let us know!


Municipalities & Local Service Districts

The PCs have promised to “show respect to municipal leaders,” and to “listen to them, support them, and help them implement the local solutions their community needs.”

To do this, the party said in its platform, it will:

  • Pursue a multi-year planning approach for infrastructure including roads, water, sewer, and recreational facilities. We will evaluate existing infrastructure and work with communities to replace it as necessary.
  • Work with municipalities to identify and address vulnerabilities to storm damage, forest fires, flooding, and update emergency preparedness plans for dealing with the increasing number of extreme events.
  • Improve the delivery of safe, potable drinking water. We will work with local leaders and communities to develop workable small-town solutions that match the area’s needs. We will prioritize funds to municipalities who want to invest to create or improve a municipal water supply.
  • Cut red tape and streamline regulations that are making it difficult for municipalities to operate in the best interests of the people they serve.
  • Give municipalities more decision-making power regarding the Crown Land in their boundaries. The Crown Lands division of government continues to be plagued with problems despite Liberal promises of solutions.
  • Support municipalities’ community safety plans.
