Campaign contact

Contact details are from the City's candidates list, except any marked inferred, searched or supplied; hover the mark to see where that detail came from.
We do not reproduce the home addresses the City also publishes.

In their own words

Verbatim, attributed, dated. Every passage below is copied exactly from an archived copy of its source — a campaign website, a news article, or the candidate's own social media post — and links to it. Nothing is paraphrased by this site and no for-or-against label is applied: read the words, follow the link. Passages from news coverage say whether they are the candidate quoted, the reporter's reported speech, or the reporter's characterisation.

Compiled in a research batch dated September 11, 2026, reviewed by hand before publication on October 8, 2026.
Passages are capped at 60 words and listed newest first; undated campaign pages show and sort by the date archived. A candidate with nothing located on an issue is listed as such, with the date their sources were checked; a race is shown only once every candidate in it has been checked. See methodology.

Transportation

  • Road safety and transportation planning are also significant concerns. Excessive speeding on arterial and neighbourhood streets, changing traffic patterns, road design, congestion and the growing use of e-bikes and other forms of mobility all require thoughtful planning, clearer expectations and effective enforcement.

On the City's list of council members

The terms the City of Barrie's own list of council members, 1837 to 2022, shows Arif Khan serving, with the office and any note as the City prints them, and the milestones of each council: events from the City's history and notes, dated. The full list is on Barrie's mayors and councils.

Boards and committees

Public bodies Arif Khan has been appointed to or recorded serving on, from this site's record of Barrie's boards and committees.
Each line is one sourced statement — a council motion, a board's own member list, a provincial order or a news report — so a seat held for years can appear several times. The record is incomplete, especially before 2013.

Terms are drawn from election records alone: a line runs from each election to the next one for that office — or ends early where winning a different office ended the term — so a resignation for any other reason would not appear here.

How to read this table. Most council business passes on consent, with no member-by-member vote in the minutes.
The practice of recording votes by name has changed: such votes were routine through 2019, and from 2020 on usually appear only when a member asks for one. This table is every vote the minutes record by name. A member's absence from it says nothing about their position. The voice votes are in the record too: the minutes print 3,038 motion outcomes across 269 meetings, beside these 188 recorded votes. Each is listed on its meeting's page as an outcome only, because a voice vote records no one's position. The City's meeting system lists no meetings at all between October 22, 2025 and January 20, 2026, so any recorded votes from that window are missing until the Clerk provides the minutes. Where the minutes print no outcome beside a vote, none is shown here.

Meeting attendance

How often the City's minutes list Arif Khan as present, by body and council term. Only meetings whose minutes print an attendance list count, and only those listing Arif Khan as a member: present, absent or excused. A member who arrived late or left early is counted present, as the minutes count them.
