Ready to listen.
Ready to lead.

Mike Harris has spent more than 30 years working in real estate, housing, construction and business—building teams, mentoring people and helping families find a place to call home.

He is a businessman, former journeyman carpenter, award-winning real estate professional, husband, father and grandfather. Mike is running because he believes deeply in Victoria—and because residents deserve a City Hall that listens, focuses on the basics and answers for the results.

“I’m not asking you simply to vote for change. I’m asking you to help build it.”
See how Mike will listen across Victoria

Six priorities.
One Victoria.

A practical agenda for a city that is safe, affordable, vibrant and accountable—measured by outcomes people can see.

02

Respect for taxpayers.

Review spending, reduce duplication and require City Hall to show what residents receive for every tax dollar.

Responsible spending. Better value.
03

Housing that works.

Set measurable permit targets, reduce avoidable delays and judge policy by homes built and real affordability.

More homes. Faster decisions.
04

Bring back the best of downtown.

Build a measurable plan for a downtown that is clean, safe, welcoming, accessible and alive.

Clean. Safe. Vibrant.
05

A fresh start at City Hall.

Launch an independent organizational and value-for-money review—and make the findings public.

Accountability. Transparency. Results.
06

12 neighbourhoods. One Victoria.

Listen directly to communities, publish what Mike hears and report back on the action taken.

Listen first. Lead together.

Before City Hall spends your money, ask six questions.

Good intentions matter. Results matter more. Every major program and decision should be clear about the problem, the full cost and how success will be measured.

And after the money is spent: Did it work?
  1. 01

    Is it a municipal responsibility?

  2. 02

    What will it really cost?

  3. 03

    What problem are we trying to solve?

  4. 04

    How will we measure success?

  5. 05

    Is there a simpler or less expensive way?

  6. 06

    Have we listened to the people affected?

Victoria’s next chapter starts by listening.

Before telling neighbourhoods what they need, Mike will ask what is working, what needs attention and where City Hall is not listening.

What Mike hears will help shape the campaign’s neighbourhood commitments and a public What Victoria Told Mike report.
