I’ll work to make our community centres safer and with less crime. I’ll make decisions that help our businesses prosper, grow, and build good fulltime jobs.
I’ll ensure our local needs and aspirations are heard by the decision-makers in Town.
I’ll advocate for one department to oversee all core services, and for local boards to have more say in the delivery and maintenance of their areas core services.
I’ll campaign to reinstate minimum residential parking requirements for new housing developments and the return of sensible height-to-boundary rules that protect existing homeowners from being built out.
