Incumbent John Orlikow has retained his council seat.

First elected in a 2009 byelection, Orlikow has seen numerous postings on city council, including as deputy mayor, a member of the executive policy committee and chairman of the property and development, and heritage and downtown development committees.

Community centres, safety and green spaces are among his priorities. He promises to fix streets and sidewalks and invest in spray pads and play structures.
