  3. Work with the City to ensure an affordable housing plan is an essential part of all new developments

  4. Continue to monitor the addition of a South Service Road to ease traffic flow and allow local accesses

  5. Address the unresolved busing and transit issues in the Maple area

  6. Stay advised on environmental issues such as the Tyandaga quarry

  7. Push for further senior opportunities with a Senior Centre in Ward 1

  8. Be YOUR voice at City Hall

Supporting diversity within a democratic framework, in being transparent while collaborating and communicating decisions made on behalf of our constituents.

The environment has to be on the forefront of decisions we make that create a sustainable future in our community.

Supporting housing affordability; particularly to assist those most in need: the elderly, single-

parent families, and recent newcomers to our Ward One community.
