Our Platform: Built With the People of Ward sipiwiyiniwak
This is just the beginning.
The challenges we face in Ward sipiwiyiniwak — affordability, growing communities, aging infrastructure, safety, and city services that need to do better — are complex. That’s why my platform is designed to evolve.
Between now and election day, I’ll be listening. Whether it’s at your doorstep, at local events, or online, your ideas will shape the direction of this campaign.
Together, we’ll build a city that works for all of us.
Preliminary Platform Pillars

Making City Spending Work for Us
Whether it’s snow clearing, waste collection, libraries, or community grants, every dollar counts. I’ll push for practical, transparent budgeting — focusing on value for money, community benefit, and reducing wasteful spending. Property tax increases should come with clear, measurable improvements to the services we rely on every day.
Fixing What’s Already Here
Our mature neighborhoods deserve care, not just construction detours. From broken sidewalks to aging parks and facilities, I will advocate for responsible, predictable investments in renewal and maintenance — so we’re not just expanding the city, but taking care of what we already have.
Growing Smarter, Not Just Bigger
Growth should benefit everyone — not just developers. I support thoughtful, community-informed development that fits into existing neighborhoods, improves transit access, and protects housing affordability. Residents should feel heard and respected when it comes to rezoning, infill, and infrastructure changes in their communities.
Better Everyday Services
City services shape our quality of life — and they should reflect the realities of residents today. From faster 311 responses to more accessible public transit and safe, welcoming public spaces, I’ll advocate for improving core services across every corner of our ward, especially in areas that have long felt overlooked.
A Safe, Caring & Inclusive City
Everyone should feel safe, seen, and welcome in our city — no matter your age, income, culture, or background. I will champion local partnerships and city programs that foster inclusion, fight discrimination, and ensure that civic participation is truly accessible for newcomers, racialized people, disabled residents, and more.
Sustainable & Local Solutions
Climate resilience starts at the local level — through better buildings, green spaces, transit, and waste systems. I’ll support initiatives that reduce emissions and protect our river valley, while also backing local businesses, social enterprises, and food systems that make our communities more vibrant and self-sustaining.
Have Your Say: Share Your Priorities
Being Present and Accountable — Every Step of the Way
I believe representation means more than just casting votes at City Hall — it means showing up, listening, and staying connected. From campaign to council, I’m committed to being accessible, transparent, and visible in the community.
That includes:
-
Regular town halls and online Q&As
-
Attending local events, AGMs, and consultations
-
Timely responses to messages
-
Frequent updates through newsletters and social media
When you reach out, you should hear back. When decisions are made, you should know why. That’s the kind of leadership I believe Ward sipiwiyiniwak deserves.
