Party themes that touch parks and recreation — not rankings. Press incumbents and former commissioners hardest on Jericho capital timing.
Dropped its push to dissolve Park Board; now running commissioners on affordable recreation, community centres, and pool access. Strong on facilities volume — still unclear on outdoor court sports / Jericho specifically.
Frames parks as essential public infrastructure — upgrades, pools, playgrounds, climate resilience. Equity and green-space focus; no published Jericho-specific pledge yet.
Incumbent chair Tom Digby seeking re-election. Slate stresses parks, recreation services, accessibility, and public accountability. Best placed to answer on current Sport Court Strategy delays.
Includes former commissioner John Irwin. Public-space and services language on VoteMate; worth pressing on outdoor court investment vs. community-centre focus.
Two sitting commissioners seeking re-election (Bastyovanszky, Jensen). Direct accountability for the pop-up years — ask what they will put in the next capital plan for Jericho.
Newer civic slate. Limited published Park Board recreation detail so far — treat as open questions on court capital.
Smaller Park Board slate on VoteMate. Confirm recreation and capital priorities directly.
