John BarbourCouncillor at Large

A denser, more walkable and happy city.

About John

John Barbour is a community‑minded advocate for a more connected, people‑first St. John’s. He believes in building complete neighbourhoods where everyday needs are within reach by foot, transit, bike, or car and where our shared spaces bring us together.

His focus is pragmatic: use the tools we already have, plan with consistency, and invite residents into the process so we deliver the housing, streets, and services our city deserves.
