As your city councillor, I will be committed to ensuring safe streets and sidewalks for everyone in our community. Here’s how we will take a proactive stance on traffic safety:

Enhancing Sidewalk Safety: We will proactively inspect and maintain our sidewalks, ensuring they are safe, well-lit, and free from hazards. Our goal is to create a welcoming walking environment for families and pedestrians, encouraging active lifestyles.

Strengthening Speed Limit Enforcement: I will take initiative to collaborate with city planners to reinforce speed limits in both town and rural areas. This includes advocating for improved signage, the installation of speed bumps, and effective traffic calming measures to protect our neighborhoods.

Community Engagement and Accountability: I believe that community involvement is crucial. We will proactively host outreach initiatives to listen to your concerns, ensuring that your input drives our actions. Together, we can hold the city accountable, ensuring timely repairs—such as for potholes—so that residents know they can report issues and receive prompt responses. If the city is notified about potholes, we will push for proactive road repair,  to prevent damage to your vehicles.

Together, we can create a safer environment for all residents and make a positive impact on our community's quality of life.

As your city councillor, I will be dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Ward 20 by investing in local parks, trails, and recreational facilities that serve our youth and families. With the success of the recent multi-use trail extending to Osgoode, we have a strong foundation. Here’s how we can take our community to the next level:

Expanding Trail Networks: I am committed to continuing the work of expanding and improving our trail systems for walking, biking, and outdoor activities. This includes creating safe connections that link our neighbourhoods to parks, schools, and community hubs, encouraging active lifestyles and promoting health among residents.

Environmental Sustainability: Our parks and trails will incorporate environmental sustainability practices. This includes planting native plants, creating wildlife habitats, and implementing eco-friendly designs that protect our natural spaces while providing enjoyment for residents.

Youth Engagement Programs: Developing programs that engage our youth is vital. Working with the community associations I will push for recreational and educational programs in our parks, like sports leagues, arts and crafts workshops, and outdoor adventure camps, fostering skills and friendships among young residents. I will seek to partner with community organizations, schools, and environmental groups to host events that promote outdoor activities, wellness, and community spirit. Together, we can organize clean-up days, trail maintenance events, and family fun days that enhance our outdoor spaces.

By investing in our parks, trails, and recreational facilities, we create a vibrant and engaged community in Ward 20. Together, let’s build a place where families thrive and everyone can enjoy the great outdoors.

I am deeply passionate about our community and its future. As we face important decisions regarding Tewin, I want to ensure we prioritize environmental sustainability while keeping our rural charm intact. Tewin must go through a secondary planning process, supported by various studies before development can occur. I will listen to your concerns and work together to address them with the city. With your support, I will advocate for green initiatives, preserve our natural spaces, and uphold the values that make our community special. Let’s collaborate to create a thriving environment for all—vote for me, and let’s make positive change together!
