Mayor candidate · District of North Vancouver
One is elected to this office.
Where they stand
Traffic & transportation
My priorities are practical: predictable property taxes; housing for families, workers, and seniors that is supported by infrastructure while protecting neighbourhood character and green space; better coordination of road work and a united North Shore voice on transit; responsive municipal services; and stronger wildfire and emergency preparedness.
Housing & affordability
My priorities are practical: predictable property taxes; housing for families, workers, and seniors that is supported by infrastructure while protecting neighbourhood character and green space; better coordination of road work and a united North Shore voice on transit; responsive municipal services; and stronger wildfire and emergency preparedness.
Property taxes & spending
In difficult times, we must stand united as Canadians: supporting local businesses, protecting household budgets, and treating every tax dollar with care.
The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant is one example. Metro Vancouver’s estimate rose from about $700 million in 2013 to $3.86 billion in 2024. The plant is necessary, but residents deserve public reporting, independent oversight, and a fair allocation of costs. I will advocate for all three wherever the District has a seat at the table.

Local economy & small business
Practical Leadership, Strong North Vancouver, United Canada Canada faces economic uncertainty, including tariff pressure and trade disputes with the United States. In difficult times, we must stand united as Canadians: supporting local businesses, protecting household budgets, and treating every tax dollar with care.
Governance & transparency
I am running for Mayor of the District of North Vancouver as an independent—with no slate and no party—because residents deserve a government that listens, explains how public money is spent, and takes responsibility when projects go off track. The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant is one example. Metro Vancouver’s estimate rose from about $700 million in 2013 to $3.86 billion in 2024.
