Amherstburg Town Council
Candidate for Amherstburg Council

DHAVAL PRAJAPATI

New Voice. Clear Choice.

My family chose Amherstburg because we wanted a great place to call home. I am running for Council because I want to give back, do the work, and help make practical decisions for the future of our town.

Election Day: October 26, 2026

Why I am running

Amherstburg became home for my family. Now I want to give back.

I moved to Canada in 2014 to complete my Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. I lived in Windsor for eight years before my wife and I chose Amherstburg as the place where we wanted to build our life and raise our son.

I have worked at CenterLine in Windsor for more than eleven years in several roles, including engineering, estimating, applications, design and now sales and business development. That experience taught me to prepare, understand the details, ask questions and work with people to find practical solutions.

I do not claim to have all the answers. I am running because I care about this community and believe I can contribute through strong work ethic, preparation and thoughtful decision-making.

“I want residents to know that I will listen, come prepared, ask questions and make decisions with Amherstburg’s long-term future in mind.”

What. How. Why.

My Three Priorities

These are not promises to solve everything overnight. They are the principles I will use to prepare, ask questions and make decisions on Council.

Responsible Growth

Growth should improve Amherstburg, not outpace it.

WHAT: Plan growth so roads, drainage, traffic, parks, emergency services and other infrastructure can keep pace.
HOW: Review the full impact of development, use evidence, learn from other communities and think beyond the next few years.
WHY: Growth can bring opportunity, but only when existing and new neighbourhoods both receive the services they need.

Responsible Spending

Every tax dollar deserves respect.

WHAT: Focus town spending on real needs, good value and long-term benefit for residents.
HOW: Read the reports, understand the numbers, ask tough questions and look at alternatives before approving major spending.
WHY: Families, seniors and local businesses are already feeling financial pressure. Council must be careful with the money residents provide.

A Strong Future

A town where people can build a life and stay.

WHAT: Protect what people love about Amherstburg while creating opportunities for families, seniors, young people and local businesses.
HOW: Support practical community spaces, local business, housing choices, heritage and planning that looks at the next generation.
WHY: Amherstburg should remain a place where children can grow up, young people can return and families can afford to call home.

The campaign journal

100 Days. 100 Stories. Our Amherstburg.

Every day until the election, I am sharing a story about Amherstburg. Some are about our history. Some are about local businesses, parks, traffic or growth. Most importantly, they are helping me learn directly from the people who live here.

Day 16

One Building, Different Generations

From the Verdi Club to the Fort Fun Centre, one place can hold very different memories.

Day 15
