I’m running for another term on City Council because our city is at a critical point. We are experiencing continued growth, and with that comes real challenges – keeping our neighbourhoods safe, managing tax dollars responsibly, and making smart infrastructure decisions. I’ve worked to support responsible growth that protects what we value about our community; while ensuring we don’t place unnecessary burdens on residents.
 
There is still important work ahead, especially as we address rising costs and the significant concerns around the wastewater treatment plant project. I believe in accountability, transparency, and making decisions that serve the long-term interests of our residents – not just short-term fixes. My experience allows me to ask the right questions, push for responsible solutions, and stay focused on what matters most to our community.
 
For the second consecutive year, we have been named Canada’s Most Liveable City. It’s encouraging to see what we’ve built together and continue to create—a thriving community that supports residents at every stage of life and helps meet a wide range of needs along the way. I’m committed to continuing this work with steady, thoughtful leadership to keep our city safe, financially sound, and a place we’re proud to call home.

During my last term, our community worked together to accomplish the following:

• Modernized and updated our zoning bylaws to create more development opportunities and make it easier for people at all stages of life to find housing that meets their needs.
• Transformed the Shipyards into a vibrant destination featuring a skating plaza, splash park, and neighbouring brewery district — a welcoming gathering place for residents and visitors alike.
• Expanded bike lanes, walkways, and bike share infrastructure — including the Crosscut Bridge — creating a safe and accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists to cross over Highway 1.
• Supported ongoing improvements to public transit to make it easier, safer, and more efficient for people to move across the North Shore.
• Celebrated the opening of Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre and Silver Harbour Seniors' Activity Centre — helping meet the needs of our community at every stage of life.
• North Shore Neighbourhood House redevelopment – delivering 179 new rental homes, including 30 percent below-market units. We are now working on phase 2 of the redevelopment.
• Created new parks, community gathering spaces, and childcare facilities to better support families and strengthen neighbourhood connections.
