Hailey Ford
Hailey Ford has lived in Oakville since birth. As long as she can remember, she’s been driven by a desire to do good in her community and country. She will fight for you to help make life more affordable, build better infrastructure, and protect democracy.
As a student at Oakville’s elementary and high schools, as a patient at our hospitals, and as a user of public transit, she’s had the opportunity to meet, speak, and listen to people in the community. As a volunteer, she’s worked heavily with United Way and the Ontario Health Coalition. She is the current youth representative for the Oakville North-Burlington and Oakville East NDP, as well as a founding member of the Toronto Metropolitan University New Democrats.
She has always been exposed to and aware of the issues that matter most to Oakvillians and Canadians. At the doors, she hopes to listen and hear your stories and feedback so that she can properly represent you and be your voice at every opportunity.
She studies journalism at Toronto Metropolitan University, where she is president of the Journalism Course Union. An article she co-authored on student labour organizing was shortlisted for the 2025 Canadian University Press’ John H. McDonald Awards for Excellence in Student Journalism CWA Labour Reporting Award. She believes in the importance of accessible information, and in maintaining reliable journalism and reporting.
Hailey feels strongly in electoral reform. Canadians deserve to vote for a candidate and a party, not against one. We need to promote more choice at the polls and keep Canadians fully engaged in democracy, not just at the whims of increasingly disconnected parties and politicians.
In our current world, youth can’t afford to be disengaged. Like everyone else, they’re feeling the effects of the cost of living crisis, grappling with climate anxiety, and trying to find their footing when stable jobs are hard to come by. Hailey wants to ensure that youth voices aren’t left behind. The world we build needs to be one that looks to tomorrow because without supporting, or remembering, our young people, we slip further and further away from the future we need to see.
We need to step up. We need to do better for Canadians. Hailey would be honoured to serve and fight for you in parliament.
