The Issues
I believe in a Port Moody that runs on collaboration and accountability. A city that people of all ages and income levels can afford to call home. A city that remains green and healthy as it grows. By focusing on fiscal responsibility, housing diversity, and parks and amenities, we can build a city that is resilient, inclusive, and beautiful.
Your council needs to consider all of Port Moody when planning for the future. I want you to be able to retire here, and I want your kids to be able to afford to live here.
Development and Port Moody will always be a hot topic at every election, and understandably it is a topic that can be polarizing. We are in a housing supply and affordability crisis in BC and it is more important than ever to have a council that recognizes this and is committed to working together to make living in our amazing city more affordable.
Port Moody like every city in the lower mainland needs housing, but there needs to be a balance in the type of housing that is built and how it fits into local neighbourhoods and the community as a whole. Each housing type has its place whether it’s high-rises, low-rises, or townhomes. The key is to properly engage and listen to the community and ensure that there is adequate infrastructure, parkland, and amenity space to support the residents that would be joining our community.
Housing doesn’t need to be something we are afraid of providing, we just need a leader on council that has the ability to negotiate the best for Port Moody, and puts our Port Moody Residents First! I will advocate for you, and I can be your voice on council.
We have the most amazing natural park spaces only minutes from home. It's a priority for me to protect, and enhance these areas so future generations can enjoy them as much as we do.
We are such a beautiful city that people from across the lower mainland come to Port Moody to enjoy our outdoor spaces. Although this helps support our local economy, it also increases the demand and wear on our parks. With green spaces across the lower mainland disappearing at an alarming rate, I believe in protecting Port Moody’s parks and green spaces so that future generations can enjoy our city as much as we do.
Port Moody has an amazing number of parks but I feel that so much more can be done to make these true neighbourhood gathering spaces. With your vote this October I would be a strong advocate for our local green spaces and ensure that our current neighbourhood parks and recreation facilities are prioritized for enhancement. Bringing Port Moody residents together and always putting Port Moody Residents First!
As a Coach I always say "Teamwork and collaboration can achieve anything, but the first step is the commitment to want to be better."
You deserve a councillor that will put Port Moody Residents First!
If there is one thing I have learned from all my years playing and coaching lacrosse at high levels, it’s that “teamwork and collaboration can achieve anything, but the first step is the commitment to want to be better.”
When a council doesn’t listen to its residents, acts on perceived mandates, and wastes time and money, it’s understandable that residents would be frustrated or angry. Your council should be able to work for you, and at the same time be kind and respectful to each other. I can guarantee that if I am elected I will not agree with everything my fellow councilors say or want to do. But what I can promise is that I will share my thoughts and opinions with Kindness, Respect, and with what’s best for our community at heart.
You deserve better! This October make your voice heard by voting for a councilor that is willing to work together.
