Respect And Value Your Tax Dollars. I'll make our roads, infrastructure, parks and trails a top priority. I'll support investments that bring economic, environmental and social benefit to our city, increase our quality of life and improve our service levels to you. I’ll support partnering with the private sector and school boards to bring new facilities that can be shared to the benefit of all and achieve cost savings. Having the services and facilities you want at a price you're comfortable with is the balance I seek. I'll look for savings and efficiencies. I’ll be socially responsible.
Strong Economic Development And A Vibrant Kitchener. I'll support efforts and investments to bring more and new jobs and help our current employers grow their operations and workforce. Supporting innovation, technology, manufacturing, educational institutions, arts, culture, neighbourhoods, inclusiveness, attainable housing, recreation, festivals and tourism keeps Kitchener a great and vibrant city to live, work and play in.
I Also Believe Strongly About:
Decision making that uses your input from citizen research programs like Your Kitchener Your Say, the Engage Kitchener Website, Citizen Input Events and Your Calls and Emails.
Well maintained parks, playgrounds, trails, pools and community centres.
Recreational programs for children, seniors and adults in well maintained indoor and outdoor facilities and at our community centres.
The Love My Hood program where neighbourhoods determine projects and events they’d like to make happen and the City supports them.
Reducing the impact on the environment. Encouraging sustainable energy use. A strong urban forestry program and preserving natural areas.
Responsible development that looks after today’s and tomorrow’s needs. Supporting affordable housing opportunities and addressing social issues.
Roads that are in good condition, where measures are in place to control speed and traffic congestion is minimized.
The Arts with music, theatrical and cultural events and festivals. A strong library where different forms of literacy and technology can be learned and accessed.
Encouraging inclusivity and celebrating diversity.
Being a positive, respectful and honest councillor, working together with fellow council members, community groups and citizens to make Kitchener even better.
