WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST PERSON TO LEAD MISSION?

I have a positive outlook and a track record of being actively involved in my community. I'm a good listener, approachable and open and committed to working together and engaging in meaningful consultation about how we can build a more livable and sustainable community.

IF ELECTED, MY FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WOULD BE:

To end council's involvement in the public safety inspection team by-law, and return this responsibility to the police. This has been another example of the authoritarian approach to governing - one I am committed to changing.

WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE TOP CONCERN FOR VOTERS?

How little transparency and openness there has been with this current council. Citizens are not feeling listened to or that their concerns matter, and that decisions are made without meaningful consultation and inadequate information.
