The Last 4 Years

Looking back on the past 4 years it seems like a lifetime. After 1 year of learning and making plans the pandemic changed everything. Despite all of that work, I am sincerely proud of all of the work that our Council and Staff were able to still accomplish.

I think all of society would be better if people took more pride in doing the things they say they will. Even in light of Covid, I am proud of the progress I made on the issues I ran on in the 2018 Election, here's some information on that and other accomplishments below:

Better Access to Council:

held many public meetings after hours
conducted educational sessions on municipal tax and development charges
met with many residents and interest groups to help work with Township

Improve Health Services:

successfully lobbied County to incorporate ambulance bay in new firehall
supported increasing County's investment in doctor recruitment
volunteered during Province's vaccination effort

Responsible Development:

voted for following processes, not rushing developments
ensured future developments include accessible units and more diverse housing options
worked with developers and builders to support the community
advocated for more parkland and trails in future developments
