Bradly “Brad” Bourgeois
Background, public record, forum positions and unanswered questions for Bradly “Brad” Bourgeois, a 2026 Armstrong councillor candidate.
Office: Councillor
Brad Bourgeois is a longtime Armstrong resident, small-business owner and longtime Armstrong Shamrocks player.
His forum answers were less policy-heavy than some candidates’, but they were consistent.
Bourgeois emphasized accountability, affordability, support for small businesses and preserving what he sees as Armstrong’s existing character rather than chasing expensive “bells and whistles.”
He also talked openly about owning mistakes and expecting government to do the same.
That is a useful governing principle.
It becomes harder when attached to a real budget.
What one resident sees as an unnecessary extra may be infrastructure, recreation or accessibility to someone else.
Previous public office: None identified.
Community record: Small business and longtime sports involvement.
From the forum: Put accountability and keeping Armstrong simple and affordable at the centre of his case.
Another way to look at it: Saying no to extras sounds straightforward until council has to agree on what actually counts as an extra.
What I’d like to know: Name one current City expense Bourgeois would classify as a “bell or whistle” rather than a municipal priority.
