BURLINGTON, ON.

Kyle Hutton has been around local politics for close to a decade.

Kyle Hutton: an environmentalist who wants to see a more responsible government at City Hall.

He was active in the Liberal campaign that elected Karina Gould as Burlington’s MP

He ran as a provincial Green Party candidate, as well as running for the Greens in a federal election.

He is a quiet person, no bluster or strong statements that can’t be supported.

He is employed as an analyst for a not-for-profit based in British Columbia that is focused on environmental issues.  It’s a full-time job

Hutton has been a resident of Ward 3 for all of his adult life, and decided to be a candidate when he learned that Rory Nisan had decided to run for Mayor, leaving the Council seat open.

Part of what drives Hutton is a primary goal: ”getting us back on track.”  Affordable housing, community safety, and responsible government are the levers Hutton wants to pull on to bring the movement for a better Burlington to City Hall.

Hutton was born in Hamilton, the family moved to Burlington when he was 12.  Attended MMR High School and then Sheridan College, where he completed a program that included psychology, sociology and other liberal arts subjects.

Hutton publishes a Substack that he uses to comment on what’s working and not working in the world we live in.

Kyle Hutton is 36, if elected he might be the first under-40 Councillor to serve.  That in itself is a really positive sign.

Hutton says there are about 12,000 voters in Ward 3.  So far he has knocked on 1,200 of those doors. “There are a lot of aroused voters out there” said Hutton
