These are some of the motions I |
As a lifelong resident of the District, I have witnessed its evolution over the years—often for the better, but not always with the interests of my generation in mind. My vision for our community is to preserve the things we love while ensuring it remains livable for all generations. From youth to growing families to seniors, it’s essential that every stage of life is considered, and all voices are heard.
One of my biggest concerns is the missing generation—those between 20 and 40—who are leaving the North Shore due to the high cost of housing. This loss affects every part of our community, especially small businesses that struggle to find staff. Addressing this challenge must remain a top priority. At the same time, we must also plan for our growing senior population, many of whom want to stay in the community but face a shortage of suitable housing and support services. Local government has the greatest impact on our day-to-day lives. That’s why it’s critical for Council to be open, accessible, and responsive to community needs. Listening, helping at every opportunity, and engaging in respectful debate are key to making decisions that serve the best interests of our residents. My greatest strengths are my compassion for others and my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. It is this passion for both people and community that drives me to be an effective voice for you on Council. |
