Bill PetrovasFor Mayor of Burnaby
Vision 2030: As One, Everyone Wins.
Transportation That Works For Everyone.
AFTER EIGHT YEARS, ARE RESIDENTS BETTER OFF? IT'S TIME TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS:
- Is housing more affordable?
- Is traffic congestion better?
- Has infrastructure kept up?
- Has City Hall become more efficient?
- Are families, seniors and small businesses getting clear value for every tax dollar?
Burnaby needs renewal
After 39 consecutive years of BCA council majorities, residents are asking for change now.
Burnaby has a real choice in 2026. What I hear at doors and on the street is a call for renewal — in how taxes are controlled, how people are heard and how results are reported.
- 01
Control taxes and spending
Respect every tax dollar. Set priorities and deliver real value.
- 02
Renew leadership
Bring fresh perspectives and prepare City Hall for the AI era.
- 03
Listen before deciding
Consult openly and restore a public question period after council meetings.
- 04
Report the full cost
Show the total cost and risks before approving every major project.
- 05
One paycheque. One job.
Make the Mayor's office a full-time commitment to Burnaby residents.
Your voice. Your vote. Your future. Vote for change and help put Burnaby first.

Who is Bill?
Burnaby since 1967 — school, work, family, community
Bill Petrovas has deep roots in Burnaby, where his family has called the community home since 1967. He attended elementary and high school in Burnaby before attending university on an athletic scholarship.
His career spans 3M Canada, teaching and serving as a school Principal, coaching rugby, managing Western Canada, and serving as Chief Operating Officer of BC Diabetes during Covid-19.
The priorities
Earn Your Trust. Listen. Deliver.
Listen First. Foundational Priority.
Listen to every voice: Act. Measure. Results. Residents, seniors, families and community organizations have valuable perspectives.
Affordability: Respect Every Tax Dollar
Rent-to-Own Housing.
Transportation That Works for Everyone.
Burnaby is growing and our infrastructure needs to keep pace. INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE TOP PRIORITY: We need to plan ahead for growth, reduce congestion and make it safer and easier for people to get where they need to go.
Safety is A Team Sport.
One direct line: make it easier to report a street light that is out, a dangerous sidewalk, graffiti and other safety concerns.
Support Local Businesses - The Back Bone of Burnaby's Economy.
Bill grew up in a family business in Metrotown. Make it easier to work, invest, hire and do business in Burnaby — less red tape. Tax incentives.
A Burnaby That Works for Everyone.
A city where seniors, families, young people, workers and businesses can live, work and stay. Spending money to study a problem is not the same as solving it. After 8 years, we should ask a simple question: What has actually improved?
The framework
Unlocking Burnaby means three things
GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE WAY. LESS BUREAUCRACY. EMPOWER PEOPLE.
- 01
Remove the barriers
Cut the delays, duplication and red tape that stop good projects, small businesses and community groups from moving forward.
- 02
Connect the resources
Line up the city, the province, business and community organisations behind the same goals instead of working past each other.
- 03
Measure the results
Publish what we promised, what it cost and what it delivered — so residents can judge progress for themselves.
Make Burnaby Canada's model city for efficiency, safety and support — where every tax dollar works harder and every resident has a voice.
One story. 250,000 voices.
Tell me your story. I'm listening.
I'm just one story in a city of more than 250,000 people. My experiences have shaped why I'm running. Every resident has a story of their own, and I want to hear them.
What's working? What isn't? What would you change? What do you want Burnaby to become?
“I'm bringing my story to this campaign — but I'm running to listen to yours.”
A new chapter for Burnaby shouldn't be written by one person. It should be written by all of us. Tell me your story. I'm listening.
I'm not running to hold a position. I'm running to help write Burnaby's next chapter.
