“A thriving nation is built upon the active involvement of its people.” Val Neekman
Val Neekman, Waterloo’s Independent candidate, is here to win your trust and ultimately earn your respect as your next Member of Parliament (MP) in Ottawa, following the election on April 28, 2025.
For 15 years, as residents of the Waterloo riding, Val and Cathy have raised two wonderful children, and it is for them, and your children’s future, that Val is fully committed to making a difference as your next Ottawa representative.
Val is the Winning Choice for Waterloo
Val earns trust through hard work, not handouts. He’s determined to restore Canada’s promise for Waterloo, serving you directly — no party barriers — just your local voice straight to Ottawa.
Val is as Local as it Gets
In 2024, Val was recognized for his contributions to Waterloo’s Conservative Association, earning an award to be received at the next Conservative convention. As president, he went above and beyond to represent Waterloo. When the party parachuted in an out-of-town candidate at the eleventh hour, Val kept his promise to us — the best choice to represent Waterloo. Now, as an Independent, he’s free to serve you directly — locally yours from the heart.
Running as an Independent lets Val put Waterloo and Canada ahead of party politics. Let’s go colour-blind this election — enough hating the blue Conservatives, red Liberals, and every other shade or party. We keep voting for parties, and they keep letting us down. They divide us, but Val wants to unite Canada, starting right here in Waterloo. To hold off any outside threat, we first need to face the challenge within.
I’ve searched — sometimes desperately — for a party with real integrity, one that doesn’t toss principles aside for results. Yet, every time I let myself hope, that hope slips away just as I reach for it. The true challenge isn’t out there; it’s right here among us — a broken, outdated political system that can’t keep up with our time. Politics shouldn’t be a brutal game. It’s deeply personal, and true leadership depends on respect — the defining trait of Canada’s truest sons and daughters.
Help Val bring the real Common Sense back to Canada!
It’s time to elect a strong representative in Waterloo, chosen for experience, and on merit, with a deep understanding of the needs of everyday Canadians. Val leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of a prosperous Waterloo and a thriving Canada.
With over 25 years in technology, entrepreneurship, job creation, and leadership, Val delivers a proven track record. As a Waterloo tech community member, he uses tech and teamwork to tackle key issues. His strong local commitment makes him the top candidate to represent Waterloo in Ottawa.
By choosing Val, know that you’re placing your trust in a candidate dedicated to earning your respect and returning this constituency to its rightful owners — the proud residents of Waterloo — by serving you directly.
Val stands for you. If you agree with where Val stands, please stand with Val.

Our great nation stands at a crossroads. We need leadership that brings intellect, compassion, and empathy to the fore. But equally, we must advocate for a Canada where meritocracy thrives, where individuals are recognized and rewarded for their skills and contributions.
It’s time we take a stand, shift the narrative, and preserve our Canadian values and heritage, ensuring that future generations inherit a nation as vibrant and prosperous as we have known it to be.

About Val
Val Neekman is guided by a principle from his ancient Persian heritage: that positive thoughts and kind words pave the way for good deeds. Though he doesn’t align with a single organized faith, his faith is to cherish this universal truth about humanity, and to honour the diverse beliefs and paths of others, so long as they bring no harm and uplift humanity.

As a committed husband, father, and Ottawa engineering graduate, Val has been a loyal Waterloo riding resident for 15 years, strengthening his resolve to serve the community effectively.
A Message For Waterloo Youth
Val cares deeply about Waterloo’s youth. Over the years, he’s had the privilege of hiring and mentoring many talented students, primarily from the University of Waterloo, helping them launch successful careers.
During their exit interviews, his only request was simple: pay it forward and spread a message of hope, positivity, and innovation.
Dear Waterloo Youth: You should know that you are my future, but I am here to support you today and now. Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow — for sure. I truly believe in your potential and that your heart is in the right place. What we need now is for your actions to follow. Get involved, stay positive, and let’s achieve success together!

With the federal election on April 28, 2025, just weeks away, now is the time to take action. Spread the word, donate, volunteer — every effort counts in sending one of your own to Ottawa!
