As an urban planner, Tasha Henderson (she/her) understands how cities work and how to get things done. Throughout her career, she has worked alongside communities tackling poverty, affordable housing, and civic engagement. Her approach is grounded in looking at the bigger picture and addressing the root causes of issues, rather than relying on quick fixes. She also teaches policy and legislation at Douglas College, where she encourages more people to get involved in civic life.

On Council, Tasha has prioritized decisions that protect renters from renovictions and extreme heat, expand affordable housing, increase childcare spaces, and improve road safety around schools. In a second term, she plans to continue supporting small businesses and increasing public amenities in the downtown core.
