Practical Solutions. Stronger Community. A Better Burlington.

Platform

My Four Priorities for Ward 2

Clear focus. Practical action. Results that make everyday life better for homeowners, renters, businesses, and families across Ward 2.

Address Affordability

For homeowners, renters & business owners

  • Look at every dollar - prioritize needs over wants.
  • Reevaluate non-essential spending and improve efficiencies.
  • Keep taxes fair for homeowners, renters, and businesses.

Tackle Traffic & Transit Mobility

Through innovative partnerships

  • Partner with technology leaders to leverage smart traffic solutions.
  • Work with the Province to develop a traffic crisis plan.
  • Build a connected, efficient network that moves Ward 2 forward.

Solve the Downtown Parking Problem

Convenient, affordable, and smart

  • Increase convenient, affordable parking options.
  • Explore parking technology to prioritize restaurants and local businesses.
  • Advocate for real-time parking availability so visitors can find a spot faster.

Unite City Hall with a Collaborative Approach

Let Burlington grow while we preserve our character

  • Work with developers as partners in responsible, beneficial growth.
  • Build the right mix of homes in the right places, and negotiate for amenities.
  • Protect and enhance the unique character of our downtown core.
About Jeremy Gaetan

Rooted in Burlington. Driven to Serve.

Experience, Empathy & Entrepreneurship.

I bring an open mind, a collaborative spirit, and a proven track record of solving problems. Together, we can build a stronger, vibrant and more productive Ward 2.

Say Hello

Health & Wellness Entrepreneur

Since 2006, I've operated LaserSTOP, a successful laser stop-smoking therapy business, helping thousands of people to break free from smoking, and transform their lives.

Industrial Vibration Analysis

I help companies predict problems before things break down, to improve reliability and reduce unscheduled downtime - collectively saving companies millions of dollars in repair costs. My mind is wired to predict, avoid, and solve problems, rather than respond to failures.

Wild Mushroom Foraging

I share my passion for nature and food through wild mushroom foraging and culinary tours, here in Burlington and internationally. The mushrooms I forage are donated to local restaurants, so they can offer an eco-friendly forest-to-table option for their patrons.

Family & Community

I'm a proud father of two responsible and independent young adults. I enjoy exploring the community - hiking, running, shopping, meeting business owners, and being outside with my family, friends and making new friends along the way.

People-Centered Mindset

Studies in psychology, NLP, and hypnosis have given me powerful tools to understand people, communicate effectively, and create positive change.

Giving Back

I donate my time and energy to a wild mushroom identification group that I started, and to the Facebook Poisons Help group, assisting doctors and vets worldwide to identify mushrooms in emergency ingestion cases. I also run outdoor youth events like educational Forest Ecology Hikes with Wild Outside, and help with food security right here in Burlington Ontario.

Why I'm Running

Ward 2 deserves practical leadership.

I'm running for Ward 2 because Burlington is at a turning point. Growth is coming and we need councillors who will listen carefully, collaborate honestly, and deliver solutions that work for real people.

As a small-business owner, father, and neighbour, I know what it means to balance ambition with responsibility. Ward 2 needs someone who will show up, dig into the details, and put residents first - every time.

My promise is simple: I will be accessible, transparent, and focused on results. Your voice. Your community. Our future.

The Ontario Municipal Affordability Pledge

I created and signed this pledge to put affordability, responsible spending, and value for taxpayers at the heart of municipal decision-making.

Municipal governments don't control everything, but they do control how they spend your property tax dollars. A signature is a public signal to voters: this is where I stand on affordability - not only during an election, but every day in office.

I invite every municipal candidate in Ontario to sign on. This pledge is non-partisan. It belongs to the people we serve, and residents deserve to know where every candidate stands.

Candidates: sign the pledge

Municipal candidates across Ontario can add their name below. Signatures appear on the public list after they are reviewed.

How I'll Serve
