Nathalie Xian Yi Yan, PhD, is a Hamilton mayoral candidate for the 2026 municipal election.
I am running because I love Hamilton and believe the City needs stronger accountability, financial discipline and a renewed focus on residents.
My experience has taught me to question documents, examine evidence, listen to people and persist when a problem is difficult.
My focus is on making Hamilton a better-run city: financially responsible, transparent, safe, and focused on the services residents actually need.
I believe municipal government should focus on the people of Hamilton and on practical, evidence-based decisions.
These are the major areas Nathalie has identified as priorities for Hamilton.
Greater transparency, responsible spending and clear information about how taxpayers' money is being used.
Prioritizing maintenance of roads, bridges, water, sewer and other essential infrastructure.
Growth that considers infrastructure capacity, agriculture, employment lands and the long-term needs of Hamilton communities.
A transportation system that considers pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, drivers, emergency services and people with disabilities.
Practical coordination around public safety, housing, homelessness, mental health, addiction and public spaces.
More accessible, responsive and understandable City services for residents and businesses.
Nathalie brings professional, educational and community experience to her campaign.
Council meetings and public hearings observer and participant over many years, including reviews and preparation relating to municipal matters.
Council member and Chair of the Patient Relations Committee, 2013–2015.
Experience in negotiation, goal-setting, resiliency, attention to detail, problem-solving and professional settings involving governance, legislation and law.
Doctoral education in Medical Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, along with studies in governance, paralegal studies, administrative discipline, addiction, world economy and finance, and biochemical pharmaceutics.
Nathalie believes older adults should be able to live with dignity, security and independence, with access to housing, transportation, healthcare and community connections.
