Where they stand
Traffic & transportation
I am concerned about the high rate of development, increasing traffic congestion, lack of parking and challenges with new paid parking bylaw regulations. Safe streets, paths and sidewalks, conflicts between cars, pedestrians, cyclists and electric scooters.
Housing & affordability
The need for truly affordable housing, climate change action, increased child care, protecting trees, reducing tax increases, and more effective public engagement on important issues.
Property taxes & spending
The need for truly affordable housing, climate change action, increased child care, protecting trees, reducing tax increases, and more effective public engagement on important issues.
Finally, I fully support a truly independent public inquiry about Waste Water Treatment Plant costs, reducing future financial impact on our taxpayers and review of Metro Vancouver Regional District structure.
Development & growth
I am concerned about the high rate of development, increasing traffic congestion, lack of parking and challenges with new paid parking bylaw regulations.
Parks, environment & climate
The need for truly affordable housing, climate change action, increased child care, protecting trees, reducing tax increases, and more effective public engagement on important issues.
Childcare, seniors & community services
The need for truly affordable housing, climate change action, increased child care, protecting trees, reducing tax increases, and more effective public engagement on important issues.
I’m pleased our new amazing Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre and Silver Harbour Senior’s Centre finally opened. Personally disappointed new HJCRC doesn’t include a 50M pool and second sheet of ice for Curling or Hockey, as I had previously supported.
Governance & transparency
I approach each issue before Council by listening to the public, applying independent thinking, common sense and using my experience in local government and business to seek the best possible decisions for our community.
