About
Andrew
Davis
I grew up on these streets. From Applewood, Penny Lane, Tanglewood, to Ashgrove and Brookhaven. Today, I live on Brier Park, where I once biked these roads as a child and played in these parks with friends. Now, I watch my own children doing the same.
This ward isn’t just where I live; it’s the streets, schools, and parks that shaped me, and it’s where I want to help make a difference.
I’m a father, husband, and concrete truck driver. While I had no experience driving a truck when I first started, I learned on the job, taking on risks, learning discipline, and building experience every day. I’ve worked as an Long Haul trucker, oversized hauler, dispatcher, and load coordinator. I understand hard work, responsibility, and the importance of doing the job right the first time. That’s the approach I bring to community leadership: practical, hands-on, and results-focused.
My wife Jessica, daughter Zoey, son Johnathan and I have spent years quietly giving back to our community. From food drives, filling Jeeps for local families in need, and participating in Christmas parades, we focus on actions that actually help our neighbours and community, not recognition or headlines. These experiences remind me that real change happens when people show up and care.
I dedicated over 15 years in martial arts, earning my black belt and teaching at Don Warrener’s Martial Arts Academy (DWMAA). The discipline, focus, and respect I learned there shape how I approach life, parenting, and now the prospect of helping Ward 3. Teaching reminded me that patience, dedication, and a commitment to helping others succeed is far more powerful than simply talking about it.
I want to help bring back the Ward 3 we all remember. One that was safe, engaged, and full of opportunities for kids to play outside and explore their world. Technology and the pace of the city can’t replace the value of community connection, eyes on the streets, and neighbours who watch out for each other. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and help make that happen however possible.
Concrete Values
Balance. Focus. Accountability
My values are firmly set and shaped by real-world experience. I believe that every issue has more than one side, and that meaningful resolutions are most often found in the space where differing views are discussed honestly and respectfully. Great decisions aren’t rushed — they require patience, open conversation, and careful thought. Weighing risks, anticipating consequences, and preparing solid contingency plans is what leads to strong, lasting outcomes.
Leadership starts with responsibility and accountability. We cannot build something meaningful without listening first, then acting in the best interests of all. When voices are many, they should help guide the process — not be forced to follow it. Listening, consideration, and steady judgment are the foundations of how I approach life, work, and family.
Balance
The Chinese philosophy of the Yin Yang not only symbolizes my martial arts background but also reflects my core value of Balance. Life is made of opposites: work and rest, tradition and progress, planning and action. You cannot have one without the other, and the same holds true for the decisions I make in life. I approach every discussion knowing that opposing views exist for a reason, and I strive to find the common ground where progress is possible without compromising my principles.
Balance also shows up in how I live my life. As a father, husband, and tradesman, I juggle responsibilities every day — early mornings, long workdays, family time, and community involvement. That experience teaches me firsthand what it means to prioritize, compromise, and make decisions that work for everyone involved, not just for one side.
Focus
Focus is the result of discipline, practice, and persistence. In martial arts, it took me 15 years to earn my black belt — years of training, repetition, and pushing through challenges when it would have been easier to quit. That same focus drives how I approach life, my work, and the community I care about. When I set a goal, I don’t just talk about it — I plan, I prioritize, and I see it through to completion.
Being focused also means keeping your eye on the bigger picture. Just like in martial arts, where every punch, kick, or stance builds toward mastery, every choice I make contributes to a stronger, safer, and more vibrant Ward 3. Focus is not just effort — it’s deliberate, thoughtful action that delivers results.
Accountability
Accountability is more than a word... it’s a way of life. As a father, I’m responsible for two lives every single day. Every decision I make, big or small, impacts my kids. That responsibility has taught me to think ahead, own my actions, and follow through on commitments.
At work, as a concrete truck driver, mistakes can be costly. One misstep can delay projects, create safety risks, or waste resources. I’ve learned firsthand the importance of double-checking, taking responsibility for errors, and ensuring the job is done right the first time.
These experiences shape how I approach decisions in life. Every choice must be measured, responsible, and in service of the people it affects.
Being accountable isn’t about pointing fingers at others — it’s about stepping up, admitting mistakes, and making them right. That’s the standard I hold myself to, and it’s the standard I bring forth in my family, and community.
Your Voice. Heard
You Talk. I listen. Simple.
Strong communities are built on honest conversations and the willingness to listen. I believe progress starts by understanding different perspectives, asking the right questions, and making space for voices that don’t always get heard.
Listening isn’t passive — it’s how trust is built and better decisions are made. When people feel heard and respected, communities move forward together with clarity and purpose
Safer Parks
Our parks should be places where families feel safe, welcome, and proud to spend time. Addressing maintenance, visibility, and safety concerns isn’t optional—we owe our children and our community better.
Affordable Housing
"You can’t call it home when you can’t afford to live here."
We need a smarter approach to housing that prioritizes local families, reduces waitlists, and ensures growth doesn’t push the people who built this city out of it.
Valued Opinions
People deserve to feel heard before decisions are made, not after they’re finalized. Real leadership means listening first, respecting differing views, and ensuring community voices genuinely shape the outcome.
