FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oakville, Ontario — Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Jerome Adamo to Launch Ward 5 Campaign with Seven-Week Pizza Tour
On Wednesday, September 9, Ward 5 Town Council candidate Jerome Adamo will officially launch his campaign with a tailgate-style community gathering at Vito’s Pizza in the Sixth Line Plaza parking lot, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The September 9 event will mark the beginning of a seven-week tour of 6 of the 7 pizza places in Ward 5 —bringing politics out of council/committee chambers and directly into the community where it belongs.
“I believe democracy works best when people can actually see you, talk to you, question you and tell you what matters to them,” said Adamo. “So we’re taking this campaign to the people—one pizza place and slice at a time … while my supplies last of course.” The pizza places are just letting me use a few parking spots, and they aren’t here endorsing anything but COMMUNITY and that should always be the focus”
Seven Weeks of Pizza, Politics and Community
The current schedule includes:
Wednesday, September 9 — Vito’s Pizza, Sixth Line Plaza — Campaign Launch
Wednesday, September 16 — Double Double
Wednesday, September 23 — Martino’s, River Oaks Boulevard
Wednesday, September 30 — Pizzaville, Sixth Line
Wednesday, October 7 — Location to be announced
Wednesday, October 14 — Pizza Pizza, Dundas Street at the Food Basics Plaza
Wednesday, October 21 — Panago Pizza, Neyagawa
All in-person events will begin at 6:30 p.m.
“These are meant to be easy, informal opportunities for people to stop by, grab a slice and have a conversation,” Adamo said. “You don’t need a political background, a prepared question and you already have the invitation.

Come as you are.”
Ward 5 Live: Virtual Town Halls
Recognizing that not everyone can attend an evening event in person, Adamo will also host two Ward 5 Live virtual town halls. The sessions will take place:
Sunday, September 13 — 6:45–8:45 p.m.

Sunday, October 18 — 6:45–8:45 p.m.
“These virtual town halls are about meeting people on their terms,” Adamo said. “Whether you’re working, caring for family, dealing with mobility challenges, or simply more comfortable participating from home, I want there to be a place for your voice.”
Residents should watch for RSVP information and meeting links for both virtual sessions.
“I’ve Been Working for This Community for a Long Time”
Adamo says his campaign is about much more than the weeks leading up to Election Day.
“I’ve been working from the day I filed, but the truth is, I’ve been working for this community for decades.

Thirty-five years of experience, relationships, advocacy and learning don’t disappear when an election begins,” he said.
“And I’ll continue working for you long after this election is over.”
As an educator, Adamo says his vision for Oakville is deeply connected to the children he sees every day.
“Every morning, I wake up thinking about the future.

And the future I want is the future I want for the kids sitting in front of me in my classroom every single day—a community where people belong, where families can afford to live, where people are heard and where government works for the community.”
Adamo’s message to Ward 5 residents is simple:
“Say yes to me, so I can say yes for all of you.”
