Fiscal Responsibility
Implementing Smart Budgets
•
A dedicated record of delivering
improved value for our tax dollars.
I ask the tough questions to
improve accountability and city
performance.
I pledge to continue this level of
scrutiny and diligence to reduce
tax increases.
•
Brought forward and supported
motions each year to reduce the
taxes without compromising
service levels. I pledge to continue
this dedication to ensure value for
your tax dollars.
•
Objectively and critically evaluated
potential alternate revenue
opportunities, such as the MUC, to
verify if they are sound business
decisions.
•
I pledge to continue this due
diligence with future business
proposals, including the solar farm
and proposed Municipal Energy
Corporation (MEC).
•
Persistent in improving
accountability and challenging
unnecessary spending.
•
Continue to encourage realistic
and affordable solutions to city
challenges.
Sound Planning
Realistic Plans for
Future Growth
•
Continue to respect and
involve residents in our
planning processes. I fought
against and reduced the
impact of proposed changes
that made it more challenging
for the public to speak at
council meetings and public
hearings.
•
Collaborate with businesses to
promote affordable and
realistic solutions that will
encourage and support
businesses.
•
Encourage real solutions to
address the traffic issues
across the city.
•
Support an updated review of
the regional transit decision to
verify if the decision will result
in efficiencies and savings.
•
Explore non-resident pricing
for recreation facilities to
ensure taxpayers are not
subsidizing non-residents to
use our facilities.
Community
Preserving Our Character
•
Committed to safeguarding the
city’s small town character with a
dedication to greenspaces
despite regional government
pressure to force densification
beyond market demand.
•
Dedicated to preserving our
parks and greenspaces and
protecting our designated
parkspace from development.
•
Encourage the expansion of
community gardens in local
neighbourhoods to maximize the
potential of underutilized areas.
