Be wary of candidates who promise to lower taxes AND improve service levels. I have supported, and will continue to support, critical investments in our City while improving accountability so each tax dollar is spent wisely, ensuring that you get value for money. On October 26, re-elect me as your Ward 12 City Councillor.

Urban residents already pay for stormwater on their municipal water bill, and with the new fee structure, some of the cost will be transferred to industrial and commercial properties. Farmers and greenhouse operations are exempt. For rural residents, this will be a new charge that will help pay for $6 million to $8M million in annual costs for rural stormwater infrastructure, as well as urban stormwater, because a key point to remember is we aren’t just paying for stormwater from our own properties; we’re paying to keep the whole city free of flooding so that we can all get around, so that emergency services can respond when we need them, and so that businesses can get products to market, supporting our economy.

If you are like most Ward 12 residents, you are fed up with vehicles speeding down your street, blowing through stop signs and generally making your neighbourhood unsafe.

In this video, I’ll explain what I’ve already done and how I am working with staff for real policy change that will make our streets safer.

Community service is my passion, and over the past four years, I've received a lot of great feedback. Watch the video for a sample of what Ward 12 has said about my first term! On October 26, re-elect me as your Councillor and I will keep working hard (and smart) for you!

Lawn signs are an important part of my campaign. Show your support for me by requesting a lawn sign. My campaign team will deliver and install your sign and have it removed within 48 hours of the election.

I will continue to bring holistic and long-term thinking to City Hall, focus on open communication, and ensure our tax dollars are invested wisely, producing outcomes that benefit our community.
